Introduction to Hebrews
The book of Hebrews is a literary and spiritual masterpiece in the canon of Scripture.
As George Guthrie says, “more than any other NT book, Hebrews, from beginning to end, preaches the OT.”
The author’s aim is convince his hearers to persevere in following Christ and standing with His church.
