A powerful, valuable commentary on the letter to the Hebrews.

The author does well at the mission of the Interpretation series: he discusses each section of the work, provides a basic contextual interpretive framework, and excels at providing great and often even provocative "big picture" considerations of the text and what the Hebrews author is trying to accomplish.

You may not always agree with the direction he's going in, but you find the willingness to venture out refreshing. No, this is not a thorough commentary, but there's plenty out there for that purpose (deSilva, Bruce, etc.). This commentary is exactly what it needs to be: giving preachers and teachers something compelling to think about as they approach exhortation from Hebrews. Highly recommended. ( )
