R. J. McKelvey

The interest that Hebrews holds today is testimony to its enduring message. Central to its message is what Jesus Christ did and continues to do for his people. This is spelled out in arresting images. Dr. McKelvey provides new insight on Hebrews by demonstrating that two of its chief images - pioneer and priest - function not independently but in tandem. Christ is not pioneer without also being priest, and his priesthood is only properly understood in terms of the pioneer figure. Only one who is both pioneer and priest can provide the church with the help it needs. The double analogy in fact conveys the meaning of the Christian faith. This creative work takes account of the author's rhetorical style, showing how Hebrews is addressed to an urgent practical situation. It will appeal to those who want to know more about Hebrews as well as those who believe that the emerging church must follow Christ "outside the camp."

Steve Halliday

Luis Palau is an international evangelist who has seen suffering and loss in the lives of millions of people around the world. Like most of us, he himself is no stranger to suffering either. In this helpful book he looks at the most difficult questions that arise as a result of the human condition, and avoiding the pat answers of a merely logical response is able to send a powerful message of hope to all those who are uncertain or confused by the paradoxes in life and faith. The book will reassure and comfort not only Christian readers but all those who suffer pain in their lives.
