Few studies can be more profitable to Christians today than that of the Epistle to the Hebrews,” says Richard Phillips. “Written . . . to a group of Jewish Christians facing persecution in the mid–first century AD, the words of this book speak to Christians everywhere about standing firm in Jesus Christ.”Hebrews captures the challenges and pitfalls of people throughout the ages and shows both why and how to press on in the faith. Its message of warning and hope centers on the surpassing supremacy of Jesus, seen often from the vantage point of the Old Testament.In keeping with the Reformed Expository Commentary series, this treatment of Hebrews is accessible to both pastors and lay teachers. Each volume in the series provides exposition that gives careful attention to the biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary setting.
“Richard Phillips’s “Hebrews” keeps the focus where it is for the writer of Hebrews: on God’s “last days” speaking “in his Son.” This volume––faithful to the text, committed to confessional Reformed orthodoxy, and alert to practical implications––should serve to remedy the relative neglect of this important New Testament book.” Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
