The book of Hebrews conveys a double dose of spiritual power: it presents the supremacy of Jesus Christ unlike any other New Testament book, and it repeatedly demands a heart response from the reader. No one can study Hebrews without growing, because the letter will not permit the reader to remain a spectator; its argument and its warnings are aimed directly at the person holding it.

R. Kent Hughes works through the comparisons that structure the letter, Christ above the angels, above Moses, above the priesthood and the sacrifices, and handles the warning passages without softening them. Two volumes bound in one in the Preaching the Word series, which means a full set of expository sermons on a book many preachers avoid. Among the most useful volumes in the series.
