ReviewsDoug Moo has a knack for writing great commentaries, and this volume is no exception. Though conversant with complex issues in contemporary research on Hebrews and rigorous in its attention to exegetical details, this commentary pulsates with theological insight and pastoral warmth. I highly recommend it!Doug Moo has a knack for writing great commentaries, and this volume is no exception.

SynopsisThe Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series is the go-to resource for pastors and Bible teachers looking for deep but accessible study that equips them to connect the needs of Christians today with the biblical text., Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament features today's top New Testament scholars and brings together commentary features rarely gathered together in one volume. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Greek text, the authors trace the flow of argument in each New Testament book, giving readers the tools they need to properly understand and communicate the meaning of the text. Commentary on each passage follows a clear structure to help readers grasp the flow and meaning of the text: Literary Context: A brief discussion of how the passage functions in the broader literary context of the book. Main Idea: A one- or two-sentence statement of the big idea or central thrust of the passage. Translation and Graphical Layout: Presents each commentator's translation of the Greek text in a graphical layout to help the reader visualize, and thus better understand, the flow of thought within the text. Structure: Describes the flow of thought in the passage and explains how certain interpretive decisions regarding the relationship of the clauses were made in the passage. Exegetical Outline: The overall structure of the passage is described in a detailed exegetical outline. This will be particularly helpful for those who are looking for a way to concisely explain the flow of thought in the passage in a teaching or preaching setting. Explanation of the Text: Commentators examine words and images, grammatical details, relevant Old Testament and Jewish background to a particular concept, historical and cultural context, important text-critical issues, and various interpretive issues that surface. Theology in Application: The theological message of the passage is summarized. The author discusses the theology of the text in terms of its place within the book and in a broader biblical-theological context. Finally, each commentator provides some suggestions on what the message of the passage is for the church today. The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series is the go-to resource for pastors and Bible teachers looking for deep but accessible study that equips them to connect the needs of Christians today with the biblical text., The letter to the Hebrews provides us with a rich and unique perspective on the work of Christ on behalf of his people. The unknown author casts his message in the form of a sermon that challenges believers to keep moving forward in their faith. Jesus, he emphasizes again and again, is our great high priest whose once-for-all sacrifice provides full and final forgiveness of sins. Negatively, this means we should look nowhere else for spiritual fulfillment. Positively, we are encouraged to enter fully into the realm of grace that has at its center our heavenly high priest. By presenting Christ's work in the framework of the Old Testament sacrificial system, the author enhances our appreciation of all God has done for us in his Son and encourages us to take full advantage of his provision for our need. The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series helps its readers to concentrate on the biblical author's message as it unfolds. Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the series treats the literary context and structure of the passage of every New Testament book in the original Greek. For each passage, it consistently provides the main point, the author's original translation, an exegetical outline, verse-by-verse commentary, and theology in application. While primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical Greek, all who strive to understand and teach the New Testament will find these volumes beneficial.
