"Hebrews," part of the eighteen-volume Paideia commentary series,
brings the insight of a veteran teacher and writer to bear on a New
Testament book whose rich imagery and memorable phrases have long
shaped Christian discourse.
Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form
Christian readers by:
- Attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the
text employs
- Showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral
habits
- Commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament
book
- Focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of
the text
- Making judicious use of photos and sidebars in a reader-friendly
format
"A carefully crafted work like Hebrews deserves a commentary
that concentrates on the text itself, not on opinions and arguments
about it; that provides necessary historical information reliably
and concisely (here, ancient rhetoric); that stimulates the user to
think about matters raised by the text. Thompson's commentary does
all these things well because he has thought about Hebrews
judiciously and deeply."--Leander E. Keck, emeritus professor of
Biblical Theology, Yale Divinity School
"With a firm grasp on the theological, ecclesial, historical,
social, and literary issues, James W. Thompson has produced a
commentary on Hebrews that is clear, compelling, and helpful. In
Thompson's hands, this often difficult biblical book breaks open
with new power and meaning."--Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor of
Preaching, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
