In this work, Kenneth Schenck re-presents the complex argument of Hebrews in terms of the salvation story it tells. Written at a level for college and seminary students, Understanding the Book of Hebrews shows how this early Christian sermon utilized the events, settings, and characters of the salvation story line to remind the Christian audience that Christ has provided a definitive sacrifice for sins and that reliance on any other means of atonement is apostasy.

Schenck treatment of Hebrews makes the information of this book of Bible understandable and accessable for preaching and teaching. Understanding the book of Hebrews makes a great handy and concise reference in lieu of a commentary.

This review is from: Understanding the Book of Hebrews: The Story Behind the Sermon (Paperback)
I decided recently to preach a sermon series on the book of Hebrews. That was great because my congregation was unfamiliar with this book of the Bible. Unfortunately, so was I!! So I found myself casting around looking for a few books that could introduce me to the issues in reading the book of Hebrews and arriving at an understanding of the letter that would yield some fruit in the pulpit. This book was an easy read--I scarfed it down in about an afternoon, and it was well written, clear, offered an interpretation that was close to the text and gave me a good overview of Hebrews. I congratulate the author on a fine book. And I would invite you, if you want to know the book of Hebrews better, to purchase this book.
