NICNT: Epistle to the Hebrews

This commentary by Gareth Lee Cockerill offers fresh insight into the Epistle
to the Hebrews, a well-constructed sermon that encourages its hearers to
persevere despite persecution and hardships in light of Christ's unique
sufficiency as Savior. Cockerill analyzes the book's rhetorical, chiastic shape
and interprets each passage in light of this overarching structure. He also
offers a new analysis of the epistle's use of the Old Testament -- continuity
and fulfillment rather than continuity and discontinuity -- and shows how this
consistent usage is relevant for contemporary biblical interpretation. Written
in a clear, engaging, and accessible style, this commentary will benefit
pastors, laypeople, students, and scholars alike.
We are living in an age of incredibly good evangelical commentaries. Gary " Cockerill's Hebrews is among the best, a first-rate work that is both readable
and very deep. The centrality of rhetorical analysis and structural concerns
adds a lot to the value of this work, and his insights about the use of the Old
Testament in understanding the book's message are extremely helpful. . . .
Readers will gain a fine understanding of this incredibly important epistle and
its place in the life of the church. - Grant Osborne"
As in the best commentaries, this volume is more than a rehashing of " scholarship; it is also a contribution to the same. Cockerill advances new
proposals regarding the structure of the sermon and its author's hermeneutics
of the Jewish Scriptures. Cockerill's Hebrews will proudly take its place
alongside Attridge's, Lane's, and Koester's commentaries as an essential
resource. - David A. deSilva"
