Publisher Description: "Few studies can be more profitable to Christians today than that of the Epistle to the Hebrews," says Richard Phillips. "Written . . . to a group of Jewish Christians facing persecution in the mid-first century AD, the words of this book speak to Christians everywhere about standing firm in Jesus Christ."
Hebrews captures the challenges and pitfalls of people throughout the ages and shows both why and how to press on in the faith. Its message of warning and hope centers on the surpassing supremacy of Jesus, seen often from the vantage point of the Old Testament.

"The first liturgical reform of the Protestant Reformation was the implementation of lectio continua expository preaching in Zurich in 1519. Sequential Bible exposition has been a hallmark of Reformed Protestantism ever since. It is heartening to see the Reformed Expository Commentary series emerging to encourage the continuation of this great heritage of preaching. Richard D. Phillips is among the most gifted young preachers of our day. In his hands, Hebrews receives the kind o f careful, scholarly, contemporary, and practical exposition that is so desperately needed today."
- Terry Johnson, Pastor, Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia
"Hebrews emphasizes that God still speaks about Christ and his people through his written Word. Phillips' expository addresses ring with that authenticity, whether by way of admonition or assurance"
- Hywel Jones, Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Seminary California
"Richard Phillip's Hebrews is faithful to the text, cordially committed to confessional Reformed orthodoxy, and alert to practical implications for the life of the church. Phillips keeps the focus where it is for the writer of Hebrews: on God's "last days" speaking "in his Son." This volume, which can be read with profit by a wide audience, should serve to remedy the relative neglect of this important New Testament book in the proclamation and life of the churches of the Reformation. Along with the other volumes in this series, this commentaty should conribute to preaching and teaching that more fully echo the whole counsel of God.
- Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary
