In the book of Hebrews George H. Guthrie shows how Hebrews was written to immature Christians who were tempted to fall away from church attendance. Guthrie sums up the message in a simple phrase: 'God speaks effectively to us through Jesus' and explains that phrase word by word to brnig meaning into contemporary times. The goal of the NIV Application Commentary is to help you with the difficult but vital task of bridging an ancient message into modern context. This series focuses on application as a finished product and also helps you think through the process of moving from the original meaning of a passage to its contemporary significance. To help achieve the goal of the series each passage is treated with three sections: Original Meaning, Bridging Contexts, and Contemporary Significance.
