When is a letter not a letter? When it is the Letter to the
Hebrews. Daniel J. Harrington describes this text as the greatest
Christian sermon ever preached or written" and its author as "the
patron saint of preachers." The basic theological point of the
sermon is that Christ is both the perfect sacrifice for sins and
the priest who offers himself as a sacrifice. The anonymous author
of this work addresses Jewish Christians who had embraced
Christianity with enthusiasm but were becoming discouraged and
falling away in the face of suffering. The biblical text and
Harrington's uncomplicated commentary are ideal components for
individual and group study. Reading and reflection will produce a
renewed appreciation of the saving work of Jesus. Daniel J.
Harrington, SJ, PhD, is professor of New Testament at Boston
College School of Theology and Ministry, Cambridge, Massachusetts,
and editor of the Sacra Pagina series, published by Liturgical
Press. "
