Hebrews Introduction (Part 1)

HebrewsSteve Gregg
In this introduction to the book of Hebrews, Steve Gregg reflects on the mysterious authorship of the book and its unique audience. He notes that although the book shares similarities with Paul's writings, it has distinct differences and is likely not his work. Gregg also discusses the book's arguments against the old Jewish sacrificial system and its emphasis on the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the book of Hebrews presents a tight and compelling argument for the superiority of Christ over all other spiritual authorities.
