For many readers the Epistle to the Hebrews is among the most difficult books of the New Testament. Understanding this rich, complex letter calls for a deep knowledge of its Old Testament underpinnings and of first-century biblical exegesis. This volume on Hebrews—originally part of the New International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT) series—demon­strates F. F. Bruce’s mastery of both subjects. First published in 1964 to instant critical acclaim, Bruce’s commentary has since become a classic work of evangelical biblical scholarship. Just before his death Bruce completed a full revision of the text, incorporating twenty-five years of further study. Every reader of Hebrews—whether student or scholar, minister or layperson—will benefit from the careful exegesis and pastoral wisdom distilled in this volume.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294968361333,"sku":"9780802875891","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780802875891_4a45bb44-af0a-4d32-8062-f383244d24be.jpg?v=1786016187"},{"product_id":"the-new-testament-documents-are-they-reliable","title":"The New Testament Documents","description":"Are the New Testament documents reliable?
