Hebrews

Hebrews is "the greatest Christian sermon ever preached or written," according to New Testament scholar Daniel Harrington, SJ. This unique New Testament text presents Jesus as the great High Priest who simultaneously offers sacrifice to God and is himself the sacrifice. His compassion is rooted in his humanity, for he is like us in all things but sin. Harrington’s accessible commentary helps us read and reflect on this beautiful Scripture text, giving us a renewed appreciation for the saving work of Jesus. Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayers, and access to online lectures are included. 6 lessons.

Daniel J. Harrington, SJ (1940-2014), was professor of New Testament at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry, and editor of the Sacra Pagina series, published by Liturgical Press.

Each lesson includes a video lecture (15-20 min). Videos can be viewed online (link provided on Table of Contents page of each book) or on DVD (available for purchase). Speakers for this study are Catherine Upchurch, Clifford M. Yeary, Karen Wenzel, Dan Hennessey and Judy Hoelzeman.
