--
A presentation of the Epistle to the Hebrews, completely accessible to Christians desirous to enrich their faith through the contemplation of the risen Christ in his role of 'great high priest'. It is the only book in the New Testament that shows him in this particular role. It is also the book that strives most to comment biblical texts in the light of Christ's death and resurrection. He who, through his death and blood shed, became our mediator, making our relation with God possible. The author bases his reflection around these essential themes on quotations from the scriptures, which he comments with perspicacity. The text was addressed to the Jews, perhaps priests, converted to Christianity but a little faltering in their faith."
