Hebrews
Overview
One of the purest doctrinal books in the New Testament is the Epistle to the Hebrews. The letter serves as a doctrinal treatise to both warn and encourage its readers. Thus, the study of Hebrews is just as needful today as it was at the time of its writing. Numerous commentaries have been written on the Epistle to the Hebrews.
The writer has noticed that most commentaries have one of two faults: Either they are so shallow in subject matter that the serious student receives no benefit; or else, they are so technical that the average layman, yea, even most clergymen, cannot understand what the work is all about. It is hoped that this material is thorough enough that those who have a knowledge of Greek will benefit from it, but plain enough that one unlearned in Greek will not find the work too difficult.
