Hebrews Commentary

Good supplement to my study on Hebrews. Not a detailed study but good thoughts.

A Masterpiece of Biblical Exposition and Scholarship

Ray Stedman spent most of his life doing expository preaching to church congregations. He was, however a very solid scholar who read and studied widely --and remembered everything he read. This commentary, written near the end of his life, is meaty and tightly packed--worthy of careful study one page at a time. What emerges is a picture of Hebrews as an invitation to an exciting New Covenant adventure follwing Jesus our Trailblazer out of this world towards the same heavenly city Abraham foresaw. I often use Ray's book in teaching Hebrews to college students who right away catch the vision of the open-ended adventure we have been given under the New Covenant. Ray is never obscure, never stuffy never "merely academic."
