Far superior to the angels (1:5-14) -- A little lower than the angels (2:1-18) -- Pilgrims and partakers (3:1-19) -- Rest for the people of God (4:1-16) -- Jesus our great high priest (5:1-10) -- A call to maturity (5:11-6:20) -- The priesthood of Melchizedek (7:1-28) -- The true tabernacle and the new covenant (8:1-13) -- God's answer to the problem of sin (9:1-28) -- We have been sanctified once and for all (10:1-18) -- Confidence to enter God's presence (10:19-39) -- In praise of faith (11:1-40) -- The discipline of a loving father (12:1-29) -- Pleasing sacrifices in day-to-day life (13:1-25).
Subject: In this addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture, respected New Testament scholar Mary Healy unpacks the Letter to the Hebrews, making its difficult and puzzling passages accessible to pastoral ministers, lay readers, and students. Her commentary shows how Hebrews reveals the meaning of Christ's death in light of the Old Testament figures, rites, and sacrifices that foreshadowed it. Healy explains that Hebrews, when fully understood, transforms our understanding of who God is, what he has done for us, and how we are to live as Christians today. (Publisher).
