Book Description
This keepsake hard cover edition of The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the HEBREWS was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years. Hebrews opens with an exaltation of Jesus as the radiance of God's glory, the express image of his being, and upholding all things by his powerful word. The book was written because some Christians had begun to doubt whether Jesus could really be the Messiah, because they believed the Messiah prophesied in the Hebrew Scriptures was to be a militant king and destroy the enemies of his people. Jesus, however, came as a mere man who was arrested by the Jewish leaders and who suffered and was crucified by the Romans. Although he was resurrected, he still left the Earth and his people now faced persecution rather than victory. Hebrews solves this problem by arguing that the Hebrew Scriptures also foretold that the Messiah would be a priest and Jesus came to fulfill that role. His role as a king was yet to come, and so those who follow him should be patient and not be surprised that they suffer for now.

The Authorship of Hebrews
Author: David Alan Black
Publisher: Energion Publications
ISBN: 1938434862
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Is it possible for a serious New Testament scholar to accept the apostle Paul as the author of the book of Hebrews? Over the last few centuries the authorship of the book of Hebrews has been a contentious topic, but lately a strong scholarly consensus has emerged that Paul was not the author. There is no similar consensus about who did author the book; the consensus is entirely negative. Nonetheless, it takes some courage for a scholar to risk his reputation by challenging a so thoroughly assured conclusion of so many scholars. Yet this is precisely what Dr. David Alan Black has done. In this book he adapts some of his previous scholarly work for a broader audience, demonstrating both how one goes about determining the authorship of an ancient work, and also how one challenges a scholarly consensus. That is why we have chosen this volume as the inaugural volume of our Topic Line Drives series. Millions of churchgoers look to the introductions to various books in their study Bibles to answer questions of date, authorship, and background. But only those who read more than one introduction will be fully aware of the disagreements among scholars about those conclusions. How is it that scholars make a determination about authorship? Dr. Black has paid his dues in the practice of scholarship, and here he demonstrates how one challenges such a consensus. At the same time he will guide the reader through the various factors that influence a decision about the authorship of a book. We hope this book will give new life to your Bible study and will challenge you to study further, not just about this subject, but about many others. This book is for those who want to dig deeper than the notes in a study Bible and who want to understand what stands behind those conclusions.
