The Epistle to the Hebrews (1993) is a book by Paul Ellingworth.

Abstract

"A commentary on the Greek text."

"Ellingworth begins with a detailed study of the Greek text before working outward to consider the wider context, linguistic questions, and the relation of Hebrews to other early Christian writings and to the Old Testament. Nonbiblical writings such as Philo and the Dead Sea Scrolls, though less directly related to Hebrews, are considered where appropriate... Ellingworth finds Hebrews to be primarily a pastoral, not a polemical, writing... The essential purpose of the epistle—which maintains the continuity of God's people before and after Christ—is to encourage readers to base their lives on nothing other and nothing less than Jesus"--Publisher's description.
