Thanks to Eerdmans and the Stone-Campbell Journal, Gareth Lee Cockerill鈥檚聽New International Commentary on the New Testament volume on Hebrews arrived recently. According to the publisher,

This commentary by Gareth Lee Cockerill offers fresh insight into the Epistle to the Hebrews, a well-constructed sermon that encourages its hearers to persevere despite persecution and hardships in light of Christ鈥檚 unique sufficiency as Savior. Cockerill analyzes the book鈥檚 rhetorical, chiastic shape and interprets each passage in light of this overarching structure. He also offers a new analysis of the epistle鈥檚 use of the Old Testament鈥攃ontinuity and fulfillment rather than continuity and discontinuity鈥攁nd shows how this consistent usage is relevant for contemporary biblical interpretation. Written in a clear, engaging, and accessible style, this commentary will benefit pastors, laypeople, students, and scholars alike.
