Keep Running the Race: A Guide for the Interpretation of the Epistle to the Hebrews (ePub)

In the Epistle to the Hebrews, the author strongly exhorts, encourages, and warns Christians who were experiencing opposition from the world to remain committed to Jesus and the gospel. God continues to speak through this important epistle today, urging Christians to keep running the race of the faithful Christian life. In Keep Running the Race I share the results of my efforts to hear God speak through this important epistle.
Christians often struggle to hear God speak through the Bible. Even Christian ministers sometimes do not understand the message of the Bible. The problem in part is that sound principles and methods for interpreting the Bible are not known or practiced. Instead, everyone does what is right in their own eyes. In Ears to Hear: A Guide for the Interpretation of the Bible I provide principles, methods, and procedures for Christians and ministers as they seek to hear God speak through the Bible and communicate the message of the Bible to those who need a word from God. This guide supplements Ears to Hear by illustrating the principles, methods, and procedures introduced in that guide through practicing them on the Epistle to the Hebrews. This guide is not intended to be a detailed commentary on Hebrews. Instead, it contains the results of my personal struggle to hear God speak through Hebrews and determine the best way to communicate its message. Therefore, its value is primarily as an example for you as you undertake a similar struggle. Other volumes are also available that illustrate these principles, methods, and procedures on other biblical books including Obedient unto Death: A Guide for the Interpretation of Paul's Epistle to the Philippians and The Lion Roars: A Guide for the Interpretation of the Book of Amos.
