A basic level Evangelical commentary of the letter to the Hebrews.
The author is highly influenced by dispensational premillennialism and makes far more reference to a millennial kingdom than could be reasonably expected from what is established in the letter to the Hebrews. The author provides basic explanation with a lot of "sidebar" type attempts at application or exhortation.
This commentary surely exists but I am not sure what real benefit it can provide. There's not much substantively show more here; one can get a more holistic and basic contextual interpretation from Tom Wright, and other commentaries provide good depth. This might have served many Evangelicals well as a basic level conversation about Hebrews for a time, but honestly, not enough here to justify the reading effort. show less

Thorough treatment of the words and works of Jesus, but Pentecost quotes others extensively when a paraphrase would have served his purposes better and shortened the book.

If you want to dig deep verse-by-verse into the Gospels, this is the book for you. Great insights. The format is very academic, so it takes some time to get used to.
