The Letter to the Hebrews, The Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC)

What does the Letter to the Hebrews have to say to Christians today? 

A compelling exhortation to hold true to the faith in the face of adversity. A sermon full of iconic imagery and Old Testament allusions. A signal work of theology in the New Testament.

Grindheim clearly and comprehensively addresses major issues, including authorship, date, canonicity, formal qualities, and important themes. Following his thorough introduction, he explains each line of the text and its significance for believers today. Grindheim’s commentary offers pastors, students, and scholars the clarity and fresh insights they want in their scriptural study.
