This is one of those rare Bible commentaries that I have actually enjoyed reading cover to cover. While it is an academic commentary, it is highly readable, pastoral, and devotional in tone. Of course, this is not unexpected from John Kleinig, whose volume on Leviticus (of all things) was another Bible commentary I read cover to cover. This is highly recommended for in-depth Bible study or even just edifying, uplifting reading that is centered squarely on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His presence with us in the Divine Service.

Thorough and thought provoking. The author has fascinating knowledge about the various connections between chapters and an informative while not over accentuated hand on the grammar and syntax. I’m always surprised when I see the phrase “Divine Service” pop up in a commentary so much and I understand it’s place so frequent in the letter to the Hebrews, yet the best bits are when the author includes this aspect of interpretation alongside other connections. It is truest to the form on commentary with this wider lens and Kleinig has wider insight in spades.

It is overall a very good and informed commentary, with extensive notes on the Greek text and grammar (sadly, unlike Voelz, Kleinig chose not to put the Greek text of each pericope for the reader to read for themselves so we are dependent on his textual notes for getting the Greek text). However, this commentary is not as memorable as Kleinig's previous commentary on Leviticus, to which this volume should be see as a companion.

High-quality exegetical notes and truly pastoral application throughout. Worth the price and then some!

This commentary on the Book of Hebrews is an in-depth study but still simple and accessible to the ordinary bible student. http://academia.co.in/reviews/archive...
