Are you the One who was to come? : commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews

Dr. Woods' commentary supports his conviction that the letter to the Hebrews was written to Jews saved under the old covenant by faith in a coming Messiah. He skillfully demonstrates that the book was written to convince these Old Testament saints to put their faith in Jesus, the Messiah who had come. Using this approach, Dr. Woods clarifies the difficult passages of Hebrews without corrupting the text or manipulating it to conform to one's theological bent. In particular, the passages that are sometimes used to support the possibility of losing one's salvation are carefully examined and their meanings precisely clarified. This book presents new and biblically accurate insights into the overall argument of the letter to the Hebrews that need to be understood by the evangelical community. - Publisher
