Book Review: Hebrews: Ancient Encouragement for Believers Today

I had the privilege of corresponding with Edward Fudge (July 13, 1944 – November 25, 2017) over a decade ago. He kindly sent me a copy of Hebrews: Ancient Encouragement for Believers Today right after it was published.

Some of his views did and will not sit well with Fundamentalist Christians, but all those who are seriously interested in Biblical Hermeneutics would profit much in reading all his works.

Lawyer-theologian Edward William Fudge is one of the Christian writers I greatly admire not only for his wisdom-packed writing  but also for his humility and his genuine love for people.  Although associated with the (Stone-Campbell) Church of Christ, he has steered clear of the sectarian bent of many in his denomination and has served Christians in other church groups.  His website, EdwardFudge.com, is a rich resource for Christians seeking answers to various religious issues.

He has done another great service to Christianity with a soon to be released 262-page commentary entitled Hebrews: Ancient Encouragement for Believers Today (Abilene, TX: Leafwood Publishers, 2009 — $ 19.95) — a work which will surely bless those who read it, especially in these desperate, confused times.  For more details, go to his website.  (A Q & A guide will be placed in the next post.)
