Product Highlights

• Named one of the Best 100 Academic Christian Books by Present Testimony Ministries

"The original edition was still arguably the best English commentary on Hebrews for general use...The update of this standard commentary is unreservedly welcomed."

—The Bible Translator

"...solid, sound, and scholarly. Its usefulness to students, pastors, clergy, and scholars will be immense."

—Novum Testamentum

"Here is an excellent commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews."

—Review and Expositor

"Every preacher and New Testament scholar should have a commentary by F.F. Bruce on Hebrews in his or her library."

—Calvin Theological Journal

For many readers the Epistle to the Hebrews is among the most difficult books of the New Testament. Understanding its message calls for a great familiarity with its Old Testament background and a good knowledge of certain phrases of first-century biblical exegesis. When first published, this commentary on Hebrews by F.F. Bruce received critical praise for providing the expertise needed on both of these fronts.

The last volume on which Bruce was able to complete revisions before his death, this edition of The Epistle to the Hebrews evidences twenty-five years of further study on Bruce's part - especially through thoroughly updated and embellished footnotes.

Bruce also replaced the commentary's use of the older American Standard Version with his own translation of the original Greek text to make his verse-by-verse exposition as clear as possible.

About the New International Commentary New Testament Series
“. . . undertaken to provide earnest students of the New Testament with an exposition that is thorough and abreast of modern scholarship and at the same time loyal to the Scriptures as the infallible Word of God.”

This statement reflects the underlying purpose of The New International Commentary on the New Testament. Begun in the late 1940s by an international team of New Testament scholars, the NICNT series has become recognized by pastors, students, and scholars alike as a critical yet orthodox commentary marked by solid biblical scholarship within the evangelical Protestant tradition.

While based on a thorough study of the Greek text, the commentary introductions and expositions contain a minimum of Greek references. The NICNT authors evaluate significant textual problems and take into account the most important exegetical literature. More technical aspects - such as grammatical, textual, and historical problems - are dealt with in footnotes, special notes, and appendixes.

Under the general editorship of three outstanding New Testament scholars - first Ned Stonehouse (Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia), then F. F. Bruce (University of Manchester, England), and now Gordon D. Fee (Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia) - the NICNT series has continued to develop over the years. In order to keep the commentary “new” and conversant with contemporary scholarship, the NICNT volumes have been - and will be - revised or replaced as necessary.

The newer NICNT volumes in particular take into account the role of recent rhetorical and sociological inquiry in elucidating the meaning of the text, and they also exhibit concern for the theology and application of the text. As the NICNT series is ever brought up to date, it will continue to find ongoing usefulness as an established guide to the New Testament text.
