Overview

In 1755, John Wesley was forced to rest for a year because of illness. In that year, he wrote his Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament. These were meant to provide brief commentary on the text for his lay preachers and others to use. These Explanatory Notes on the Sermon of Hebrews are also meant to provide brief interpretations of the text of Hebrews without extensive engagement with scholarship. The goal is for the reader to gain a good overview of Hebrews' train of thought, its overall purpose, as well as some engagement with contemporary application for a Christian. In the case of Hebrews, a good deal is unknown. If we knew the details, the sermon's argument would come clearly into view. For this reason, these notes engage in a little more speculation than a normal commentary might.

"""After years of studying this complex book, Kenneth Schenck can cut through the conundrums to offer a clear a reading of Hebrews. He states his opinion simply, directs readers to others who might see it differently, and even demonstrates how he's changed his mind. This is a refreshing guide that will equip interpreters to follow the primary message of this sermon: 'Keep going!'"" --Amy Peeler, associate professor of New Testament, Wheaton College"
