I WISH SOMEONE WOULD EXPLAIN HEBREWS TO ME!
By Stuart Olyott
Banner of Truth. 198 pages. £7.50
ISBN 978-1-84871-060-3

Good title — if a bit long! Who of us hasn’t struggled at times to make sense of some of the material in this epistle?

Of course there are accessible, memorable and beautiful descriptions of Christ, who is superior in every way, and the insistent call to keep going in the faith is one that few of us can miss. But all that Old Testament referencing, the order of Melchizedek and that notoriously difficult apostasy section of chapter 6! It’s a minefield.
