HEBREWS: ANCIENT ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BELIEVERS TODAY
by EDWARD WILLIAM FUDGE
Foreword by Haddon W. Robinson
Intended for preachers, university and seminary students and adult Bible class teachers, Hebrews: Ancient Encouragement for Believers Today is a "bridge" commentary -- delivering the best insights of contemporary scholarship in understandable, non-technical language. The author of Hebrews used four Psalms as a framework to re-tell the story of Jesus to a disheartened audience that was tempted to walk away. The same structure and intense focus on Jesus permeates and empowers this narrative commentary, bringing fresh encouragement to believers today.
An international spectrum of Bible scholars and church leaders commend the meticulous scholarship and sound exposition in this book, and note its tremendous clarity and simplicity, its wise application and elegant prose. Reviewers call it 'brilliant' and 'a momentous accomplishment.' A homiletics professor labels it 'essential'; a preacher calls it 'a mandatory asset."
