It is a brave man who tackles Hebrews - not because of its difficult places (though it has them), but because of its depth and richness. Surely it is not only the crown of Scripture but also one of its fathomless deeps!
Philip Arthur (pastor of Free Grace Baptist Church, Lancaster) is among the bravest of the brave, and within a very manageable compass he has done excellently. His whole book is a model of the pastor engaged in the preaching/ teaching task at the core work of his calling, and to this task pastor Arthur brings learning, clarity, diligence, many a well-turned phrase, careful patience in unravelling the Scriptures and an over-riding devotion to the Lord Jesus matching that of Hebrews itself. We can learn from him not only what Hebrews is saying, but how to bring the Word of God to the people of God.
