Among mong all the books in the Bible, Hebrews is often considered one of the most difficult to understand. Intended as a primer on Hebrews and written especially for those who are attempting to come to grips with the epistle's major themes, this book by David Gooding offers a warm, practical, and readable guide to Hebrews. In contrast to a formal, exhaustive commentary, An Unshakeable Kingdom consists of a series of general introductory studies. Gooding therefore concentrates on the epistle's broad themes and also pays special attention to passages that pastoral experience shows many people find difficult or even disturbing. In addition, writing outside the constraints of a formal commentary enables Gooding to explore more extensively the rich Old Testament sources-history, prophecy, ritual, and poetry-from which Hebrews draws so many of its insights. Above all, Gooding aims in this book to help the reader catch sight of the glory of Jesus Christ: the splendor of God's supreme revelation in his Son eclipses the symbols and rituals of spiritual infancy, replac-ing them with the adult realities of eternal life in Christ. Writing in a direct, informal, personal style, Gooding elucidates the profound message of Hebrews and brings home the letter's far reaching implications both for individuals and for the church at large. What he writes will stimulate readers to engage in further, more de tailed study of the riches contained in Hebrews. 227.87070802804713 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 227.8707 Goo u E92011414 Non Fiction 227.8707 Goo u E92010744 Non Fiction 227.8707 Goo u-2 Unshakaeble_Kingdom.jpg 61857 2014-12-16 10:48:29 2025-05-02 16:35:34 machine generated
