Books on Hebrews - 28 May 2009 |
|
William L. Lane, Hebrews (WBC; 2 vols). Pretty technical. Surprisingly useful (for this series) in sermon preparation. Keeps the development of the argument clearly in focus. Helpful exposition of the development of OT themes (e.g. in 3:1-6). Evangelical. Pick of the bunch so far.
Paul Ellingworth, Hebrews (NIGTC). Lots of technical detail. Hard to read. Sometimes hard to see the wood for the trees. But, on the other hand, trees are often helpful.
F. F. Bruce, Hebrews (NICNT). Useful, though less detail than Lane and Ellingworth, and sometimes a bit more help with the flow of the argument would be useful. Evangelical.
John Owen, Hebrews (7 vols). Vast, slightly (!) overwhelming. Preterist reading, which may be unfamiliar to some. But I dare you to dismiss his interpretation without reading it. All of it. Or else he’ll not be happy when he catches up with you…
