- Synopsis
- Lane's work unveils Hebrews as a sermon delivered by a concerned "preacher" to the church at Rome, which is under persecution, and dangerously close to rejecting the Christian faith. As an exposition of encouragement and exhortation, Hebrews addresses the central concerns of our contemporary church as well: the felt absence of God, a climate of uncertainty and insecurity, the tension between secular conformity and spiritual maturity, and the threat of societal perversion and materialism to a Christian commitment. Christians are called upon to express a faith that is rooted in the future, and to continue this life of pilgrimage with a radical new view of reality, which is based on sure confidence in the intervention of God in daily life. Tracing the writer's development thought-by-thought, rather than verse-by-verse, careful attention is paid to the cultural and historical background. Call to Commitment is useful as a study guide for groups and individuals, or for any reader who wishes a deeper understanding of the book of Hebrews.
