{"product_id":"2940012410597","title":"Messages From the Epistle of Hebrews","description":"The following chapters are the work of intervals of leisure scattered\u003cbr\u003e   over a long time. The exposition had advanced some way when an\u003cbr\u003e   unexpected call to new and exacting duties compelled me to put it aside\u003cbr\u003e   for several years. Accordingly a certain difference of treatment in the\u003cbr\u003e   later chapters as compared with the earlier will probably be seen by\u003cbr\u003e   the reader, particularly a rather fuller detail in the exposition. But\u003cbr\u003e   purpose and plan are essentially the same throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   No attempt whatever is made, here or in the course of the work, to deal\u003cbr\u003e   with those literary and historical problems which so conspicuously\u003cbr\u003e   attach themselves to this Epistle. Who the \"Hebrews\" were is nowhere\u003cbr\u003e   discussed. Nor is any positive answer offered to a question to which\u003cbr\u003e   assuredly no such answer can be given, the question, namely, of the\u003cbr\u003e   authorship. In my opinion, in face of all that I have read to the\u003cbr\u003e   contrary, it still seems at least possible that the ultimate human\u003cbr\u003e   author was St. Paul. All, or very nearly all, the objections to his\u003cbr\u003e   name which the phenomena of the Epistle prim‚ facie present, and some\u003cbr\u003e   of which lie unquestionably deep, seem to be capable of a provisional\u003cbr\u003e   answer if we assume, what is so conceivable, that the Apostle committed\u003cbr\u003e   his message and its argument, on purpose, to a colleague so gifted,\u003cbr\u003e   mentally and by the Spirit, that he might be trusted to cast the work\u003cbr\u003e   into his own style. The well-known remark of Origen that only God knows\u003cbr\u003e   who \"wrote\" the Epistle appears to me to point (if we look at its\u003cbr\u003e   context) this way. Origen surely means by the \"writer\" what is meant in\u003cbr\u003e   Rom. xvi. 22. Only, on the hypothesis, the amanuensis of our Epistle\u003cbr\u003e   was, for a special purpose presumably, a Christian prophet in his own\u003cbr\u003e   right.","brand":"Moule Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145338437872,"sku":"2940012410597","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012410597_p0.jpg?v=1763568691","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012410597","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
