Review of the hardback: 'Schenck's study takes seriously the
complex thought world of Hebrews and offers readers the possibility
of understanding this epistle from a fresh perspective.' The
Expository Times
Review of the hardback: 'Kenneth L. Schenck offers a fresh and
innovative investigation into the cosmology and eschatology in
Hebrews by focusing on temporal and spatial sequences and by
pointing out their relevance for the whole underlying conception.'
Thomas J. Kraus, Review of Biblical Literature
Review of the hardback: 'Schenck does for Hebrews what Richard Hays
did for Galatians in his Faith of Jesus Christ, namely, construct
the symbolic story that informs the discourse and framed its
central issues. ... Schenck's treatment of Hebrews is lucid and
well worth reading and should be an enduring contribution to
studies on Hebrews.' Jason A. Whitlark, Review of Biblical
Literature
