The Letter to the Hebrews is an outstanding New Testament instance of a continuously sustained argument. Thus it is best served by teachers who can grasp and communicate the total picture, without flattening the nuances of each component.
Professor Andrews brings Christian devotion, theological maturity, teaching skills and pastoral warmth to this task. Structurally, the commentary consists of 58 chapters grouped in five sections - corresponding to paragraph divisions in modern translations. Each chapter is cumulative, digestible and nourishing. Unobtrusive references are provided to full-scale commentaries, both classic and modern, but the author is 'his own man' and his writing has a distinctive freshness and spirituality.
