Hebrews

Treated in 780 passages across the library.

A letter of unknown authorship to Jewish believers tempted to turn back from Christ. It shows Christ as better than angels, Moses and the priesthood of Aaron: the great High Priest who offered Himself once for all and opened the way into the holiest. Its eleventh chapter recalls the heroes of faith, and it calls readers to run with patience, "looking unto Jesus."
