Sigurd Grindheim has replaced Peter O�Brien�s previous volume in the PNTC series with an even longer and more in-depth treatment of Hebrews.
The author wanted to encourage his readers to persevere in the faith. He sprinkles exhortations not to apostatize throughout his letter, necessary due to the persecution and shame they are experiencing. This is a matter of ââ?¬Å"communal concernââ?¬Â? (30).
Grindheim offers eleven excursuses throughout his commentary, with a few being pretty long.
Grindheim brings out the theology of the letter when he writes, ââ?¬Å"The theology of Hebrews may be described as a theology of intimacy with God. Jesus has brought God near, and he has brought people near to Godââ?¬Â? (60). ââ?¬Å"Distance has been traded for intimacyââ?¬Â? (60). The new covenant has been mediated through the perfect and eternal Son, the exact image of God.
Grindheim has truly given us an impressive work of scholarship and care for theology and how we live today as Christians. Grindheim�s depth is astounding and, though scholarly, very readable. Highly recommended.
