Perhaps the most Christ-exalting book of the New Testament, the anonymous Epistle to the Hebrews nevertheless raises enormous theological questions. Peppered with "warning passages," readers are exhorted to steadfastly pursue their Christian pilgrimage rather than abandoning their confession of Christ. The author reminds them that they can do this--despite the trials and challenges they face--by a faith that endures through all the difficulties. Those who faithfully heed the call will ultimately be rewarded in the kingdom of God and jointly reign with Christ. This succinct commentary--scholarly yet readable--is written in such a fashion as to help the reader develop deeper convictions about what it means to faithfully follow Christ in expectation of reigning with Him in the future kingdom. The author of this volume, J. Paul Tanner, has been teaching the Epistle to the Hebrews for over forty years. In addition to a ThM degree from Dallas Seminary where he studied New Testament Greek, he holds a PhD in Hebrew Literature and Culture from the Univ of Texas at Austin. He is also the author of the highly-acclaimed commentary on Daniel for the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series, and a commentary on the final book of the New Testament, The Book of Revelation: The Return of Christ to Reign Victoriously .
