The Majestic Son: Reading Hebrews Today
Description
" It is good to see this series of non-technical commentaries. Such books are greatly needed. I look forward to using this series, especially among young Christians. "
- Dick Lucas, St Helen's, London
" Dr Peter Adam brings to this commentary the mind of a scholar and the pastor. His work is based on careful study of the book of Hebrews, along with interaction with the writings of others.
The commentary belongs to a series committed to brevity, and also to academic integrity for busy people to enable them t extract the maximum benefit possible in short periods of time.
the questions are designed for personal reflection, family discussion or Bible study groups. Peter Adam's style is lively and provocative. I am confident is commentary on Hebrews will indeed be a Message of Encouragement. "
- Dr Paul Barnett, Series Editor
