This book makes an original and insightful contribution to scholarly discussion on the Christology of the Epistle to the Hebrews, and is essential reading for all scholars of the epistle. It is an invaluable resource for theology students with its clear, measured, and stimulating analysis of the major issues of the epistle, and also for hard-pressed, modern-day Christians with its meticulously researched insights into the author of Hebrews' pastoral strategies. J.C. McCullough, Professor Emeritus, Union Theological College, Belfast This clear and careful exploration of the dual Christology of Hebrews may itself prove, as McKelvey describes the epistle, 'a pastoral response' to the needs of Christians in crisis Paul Ellingworth, former translation consultant with the United Bible Societies In this highly accessible study, Hebrews is read as a response to the needs of a community in crisis. ... Written with a sense of urgency and with contemporary Christian communities in mind, this book makes a substantial contribution to the recent resurgence of interest in Hebrews and is in itself pioneering in several ways. George J. Brooke, Rylands Professor, University of Manchester
