THIS LITTLE book, part of a new series DLT Books of the Bible, provides the complete book of Hebrews, with an original introduction by Gerald O’Collins, professor of theology at Gregorian University in Rome for 30 years in which he sets out the key themes of the New Testament book of Hebrews.

He also sets out that contrary to popular belief, Hebrews is neither a letter, nor written by the apostle Paul.

Presented as it is in a small, single volume Hebrews invites the reader to find within the differences between the Pauline letters and Hebrews to see its own beauty and depth.

This volume also includes the full text of James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John and Jude.

Mr O’Collins introduction is engaging and accessible providing a great tool for re-engaging with the book of Hebrews.
