Hebrews: Quick Summary

[csberry]

The author of Hebrews is unknown. The letter/essay argues from a Jewish perspective the superiority of Jesus to Mosaic law and how he fulfilled the prophecies from the OT. As one might expect from that last sentence, there is a ton of quotes from the OT used to structure the argument of why God created Mosaic law and how He then sent Jesus to earth to create a new covenant that utilized the symbolism and purpose of the old law in order to create a new way for God's forgiveness of our sins. The book closes with warnings and basic instructions on how followers of Jesus should live their life.
