This is an exceptional commentary; short but with much more said in this short commentary than in many commentaries of either multiple volumes or 1 volume with greater number of pages. This commentary reads like a Ted Dekker novel; if you put it down after beginning to read it, I assure you, it will be most likely against your will. It is an easy read with profound, theologically practical insights. Lane's sees Hebrews as primarily a sermon, an example of "early Christian preaching" with concern for "Christians wrestling with the cost of commitment". ( )
