Hebrews /
Pfitzner, V. C.
Hebrews / Victor C. Pfitzner. - Nashville, TN : Abingdon Press, c1997. - 218 p. ; 23 cm. - Abingdon New Testament commentaries .
Includes bibliographical references (p. 209-214) and index.
Pfitzner interprets Hebrews as a passionate appeal directed by its author to a community that is in danger of surrendering the distinctiveness of its faith. Through an examination of its structure, rhetorical devices, and arguments, he shows Hebrews to be a splendid example of extended exhoration, with a recurring pattern of formal introduction, scriptural quotation, exposition, and appplication. By seeing the message of Hebrews as a "word exhortation" (13:22) to a community in crisis, Pfitzner is able to set its distinctive Christology firmly in its original social, historical, and cultural context.
