By surpassing most traditional commentaries, Lane's work unveils
Hebrews as a sermon rendered by a concerned "preacher" to his Roman
church, which is under persecution and dangerously close to
rejecting the faith. As an exposition of encouragement and
exhortation, Hebrews addresses the central concerns of our
contemporary church as well: the felt absence of God, a climate of
uncertainty and insecurity, the tension between secular conformity
and spiritual maturity and the treat of societal perversion and
materialism to a Christian commitment. Christians are called upon
to express a faith that is rooted in the future and to continue
this life of pilgrimage with a radical new view of reality, which
is based on sure confidence in the intervention of God in daily
life. Tracing the writer's development thought by thought, rather
than verse by verse, careful attention is paid to the cultural and
historical background. This work is useful as a study guide for
groups and individuals, or for any reader who wishes a mature
understanding of the book of Hebrews.
