    The author of this commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews is a venerable Jesuit

    biblical scholar who served as Secretary of the Pontifical Biblical Commissionand whose service to the church as a scholar was rewarded by his being named

    a Cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI.

    Vanhoye has had a lifelong interest in this elegant New Testament book, and in

    this commentary he focuses on the rhetorical style and literary structure of the text

    He begins with an overall scan of the texts structure (which, he notes, takes a

    homiletic form more than that of a letter) and then provides a section-by-section

    analysis, noting the rhetorical styles and concluding with a substantial section

    on the interpretation and meaning of the segment.

    This is a rich study that reflects a lifetime of careful scholarship and profoundreaction on its subject.

    Editor ofThe Bible Todayand President of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago

    [Vanhoyes] main concern is to examine how the distinctive rhetorical and

    oratorical elements of Semitic rhetoric shaped the profound theology of Christian

    faith and how it was proclaimed through the distinctive literary genre of the

    sermon.His bookis a unique contribution to biblical rhetoric and Christiantheology, and it will be a fascinating resource rare and invaluable for

    preachers and scholars of preaching.
