Entertaining Angels: Reflections on the Sermon to the Hebrews - Paperback

by Michael J. H. Godfrey (Author)

Hebrews is a sermon, and a providentially sermon for our age. This ancient text speaks to a Christ-community descending into an abyss of ennui, losing coordinates of faith and sliding through a back door or nonchalance. With glimpses across the globe and though history, this book attempts to extrapolate meaning for today from a sometimes difficult first century text.
