[Brian White · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bob Jewett's commentary on Hebrews is an interesting read, although like much of Jewett's writing, he takes a somewhat idiosyncratic exploration of the epistle. I enjoyed this commentary as part of several other commentaries I am using to prepare for a Bible study I am teaching but probably would not recommend it as a solo voice. Per usual, however, Jewett challenges the common understanding of the text and asks the reader to consider new possibilities. It was based on his doctoral dissertation so the writing is a little pedantic.

This was the first commentary on Hebrews that helped me make heads or tails out of one of the more esoteric books of the New Testament.
