Doug Moo has a knack for writing great commentaries, and this volume is no exception. Though conversant with complex issues in contemporary research on Hebrews and rigorous in its attention to exegetical details, this commentary pulsates with theological insight and pastoral warmth.

Always clear, concise, and pedagogical, Doug Moo makes it look easy as he takes us by the hand and walks us through all the complexities of this challenging letter. Eschewing easy answers, he weighs the evidence evenhandedly and offers cautious conclusions. With this judicious defense of a traditional Reformed reading of Hebrews, Moo solidifies his reputation as one of the best commentary writers of his generation.and lt;/brand gt;

Douglas Moo's commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews provides an extremely useful tool for close study of this powerful but enigmatic early Christian text. Rightly recognizing the difficulties and in dialogue with a wide range of scholarship, Moo usefully reviews the basic issues of authorship, date, circumstances, and genre of the text. His detailed analysis pays close attention to the work's rhetorical and grammatical structures and highly suggestive vocabulary. Recognizing Hebrews' complex relationship with Jewish apocalyptic and Hellenistic philosophical discourses, Moo ably guides readers with a basic knowledge of Greek through the complexities of this unique reflection on the significance of Christ's reconciling work. Serious students of the New Testament will welcome this new resource.and lt;/brand gt;

With appropriate attention both to Hebrews' historical situatedness and to its soaring theology, Doug Moo provides a clear and compelling reading of this unparalleled biblical book. Moo's gift for organizing a complicated text shines forth in the many outlines and charts and the way he patiently walks through all the pieces of the argument allows readers to follow him or see the precise moment in which they might make a different decision. I look forward to putting this adept guide in the hands of many students.and lt;/brand gt;
