Many Christians have battled at some time with the deeper doctrines of the Letter to the Hebrews. Perhaps we have struggled to understand the significance of Melchizedek? We want to marry the great truths of One whose redemptive work is finished and yet ever lives to intercede for us before the Father's throne .
Michael Plant masterfully explains the dominant theme Hebrews reveals to us regarding Jesus, our heavenly High Priest. This book is warmly pastoral in style; for our struggles as Christians are not simply doctrinal. The author refers to C.S. Lewis's book A grief observed about the death of his beloved wife (p.42) where we are moved by Lewis's sense of desertion and his search for answers to unanswerable questions in the darkness of his sorrow.
