Hebrews: Living by Faith

by John Oakes, Robert Carillo

Hebrews is one of God's great gifts to the church. It is unlike the gospels or the letters. It flows more like a sermon. It combines some of the most eloquent writing in the New Testament. It has deeply profound theological and Christological statements. It connects the Old and New Testament most effectively. This Book is an exhortation for believers to strengthen their faith by focusing on Jesus, the man, the prophet, the messiah, and God. Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1.

This book was very helpful in looking at the book of Hebrews. It gives very good historical context, and application for today, as well as challenging you to look at your own life and call you higher. The writers write in such a way that you can follow them. They never talk over your head.
