Summary

This outstanding commentary by David deSilva is the first to apply the full resource of socio-rhetorical analysis to Hebrews. This approach combines the strengths of a higher-critical commentary with a keen interest in showing the relevance of Hebrews for the life and mission of individual believers and whole congregations. The volume also features "A Closer Look" sections that explore relevant aspects of the first-century world and theological issues of special importance to life today.

Author Biography

David A. deSilva is associate professor of New Testament and Greek at Ashland Theological Seminary in Ohio.
