Old Testament allusions, Jewish rituals, and comparisons between Jesus and leaders like Moses makes reading the Epistles to the Hebrews seem daunting and confusing but within shows the grandeur of Christ’s sacrifice. Exploring Hebrews: A Devotional Commentary by George R. Knight explains the Epistle in through scripture and plain language to give readers a better understanding of the Biblical author’s sermon to 1st Century Jewish Christians and how its applicable to Christians today.

Knight guides the reader through the Epistle to the Hebrews using his own translation—though he consulted several English versions during the process—in 53 segments. Each lesson focuses on a passage of the Epistle with Knight’s giving commentary as well as giving it a practical application for the reader today. Throughout the book, Knight highlighted various themes that the Epistle’s author—most likely Paul—along with emphasizing when the book switches from theological exposition and practical exhortation to its readers. Two of the keys takeaways that Knight brings forth is the shadow that the Tabernacle/Temple ceremonies were of the events in the Heavenly Sanctuary upon Jesus’ ascension along with how readers then and now need to have the faith of the great heroes that could only look forward towards Christ than knowing what Christ had done.

Exploring Hebrews is an excellent commentary and devotional authored by George R. Knight that gives the readers a deeper understanding of the Epistle.

Quick and simple read. Does dig into some of the more “vague” wordings of the text. Good starter for a Hebrews review. Making the word plain is important.
