HebrewsThe theme of Hebrews is simple. Jesus Christ is superior to and preeminent over everyone and everything. His absolute supremacy overshadows all else and demands the worship and allegiance of every individual. With eternity at stake, how one responds to Jesus Christ is the most important decision a person can every make. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best "Hebrews" Commentaries Around, May 15, 2004

This review is from: Hebrews: New Testament Commentary (MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series) (Hardcover)

John MacArthur's commentaries on the New Testament (and how I long for him to do the same with the Old) are one of my favorite sets. This work on Hebrews has proven to be his best in the series.

Many commentaries on the Bible often give theological meaning and offer insights into the passages but Dr. MacArthur does both and gives us a devotional commentary as well. He maintains this in Hebrews. Dr. MacArthur explains the text, draws key theological insights and even dissagreements (such as Hebrews 6:4-9), and yet combines evangelical scholarship with easy to read and grasp language. All Greek words are transliterated for those who have a limited knowledge of Greek (which is most of us).

Further, Dr. MacArthur's outlines are great. Any preacher would value the expository outlines of each chapter and subject that Dr. MacArthur is dealing with in all these commentaries. I urge you to buy them all if possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Hebrews" - an excellent training source, March 21, 2006

This review is from: Hebrews: New Testament Commentary (MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series) (Hardcover)

My Sunday School class decided they wanted to study a New Testament book with Old Testament references and so we going through Hebrews verse-by-verse. This turned out to be very difficult until I obtained "Hebrews" (Macarthur New Testament Commentary). Because Hebrews is directed toward the Jewish community using language and references that are unknown or misunderstood by modern Christians, teaching such a class was not possible without the excellent support of "Hebrews." I fully recommend this commentary to folks who wish to understand the book of Hebrews.
