Overview

Hebrews is a sermon from the early Christian church that addresses a real, urgent, and still relevant pastoral problem: a struggling congregation that may not keep the faith. Thomas Long shows how Hebrews exhorts the church to face its challenges and hold true, even into the twenty-first century.

Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major contribution to scholarship and ministry.

Editorial Reviews

Probably the single most important contribution of this commentary is to make Hebrews lively and accessible for contemporary readers....[T]hose who want to explore what people today might find interesting and helpful about Hebrews will profit from Long's exposition; for he not only writes about Hebrews, but helps Hebrews to find a voice in the contemporary world.
