Unpuzzling Hebrews

I want to thank Thomas Sims for sending me a copy of his new book:

Thomas Sims. Unpuzzling Hebrews: A New Translation and Commentary. 

The book is written at a popular level but does show evidence of research. I checked the bibliography and it contains mostly scholarly articles and books. Endnotes are located at the end of each chapter. The book has an attractive cover and is laid out well. Here is a description of the book from the Amazon website:

"The world has changed. The cost to follow Jesus is going up. Are you prepared to pay?

The Letter to the Hebrews is among the most beloved books of the Bible, but it also among the most mysterious. Who wrote it? When was it written? And most of all, why was it written? We can’t solve these puzzles, but perhaps we can unpuzzle them?

Join Thomas Sims on a journey to unpuzzle Hebrews as we travel verse-by-verse through a new translation of the letter to discover that the original audience faced circumstances remarkably parallel to what we face today.

What You’ll Discover:

• The original “Hebrews” dramatically presented in a flowing narrative.
• A challenge for all Christians to pursue Jesus no matter what the cost.
• A new perspective built on cutting-edge biblical scholarship, but presented for lay Christians to read and enjoy.
• A new approach to the authorship which overflows into the whole of Hebrews.

Pick up your copy today. You will be challenged, inspired, and reinvigorated to pay any price to follow Jesus."
