Exploring Hebrews

A devotional commenntary

by George Knight

The book of Hebrews explains what Jesus has been doing for Christians since His ascension, and why it matters now. Its bracing message of confidence in God and His promises has motivated millions to persevere in the faith.

In this user-friendly devotional commentary author George Knight leads readers, step by step, through one of the most relevant books in the Bible.

The author draws out the original meaning of the text, then shows how it applies to modern life. The reader will be left with not only an understanding of the major themes and patterns of the book, but a bolder vision of God.

"The study of Hebrews," claims author George Knight, "has changed my life. It will change yours, too."
