Hebrews (Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament | EGGNT)
Overview
The Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament (EGGNT) closes the gap between the Greek text and the available lexical and grammatical tools, providing all the necessary information for greater understanding of the text. The series makes interpreting any given New Testament book easier, especially for those who are hard pressed for time but want to preach or teach with accuracy and authority. Each volume begins with a brief introduction to the particular New Testament book, a basic outline, and a list of recommended commentaries. The body is devoted to paragraph-by-paragraph exegesis of the Greek text and includes homiletical helps and suggestions for further study. A comprehensive exegetical outline of the New Testament book completes each EGGNT volume.

Top Highlights
“By placing the eschatological first, Hebrews indicates that the Son is the ultimate goal of creation. These rel. clauses begin a list of seven Christological affirmations about the Son.” (Page 14)
“the author draws on the Pentateuch for illustrative points and the Psalms for key Christological claims.” (Page 6)
“καὶ ἐκλέλησθε τῆς παρακλήσεως, ἥτις ὑμῖν ὡς υἱοῖς διαλέγεται” (Page 365)
“Angels were highly esteemed in Jewish thought; hence, their inferiority to the Son underscores the Son’s supremacy. Angels are portrayed positively in Hebrews, challenging the claim that Hebrews confronts angel worship (so Cockerill 101 n. 6) or an angel Christology (Attridge 53). Although angels collectively were called ‘sons of God’ (e.g., MT Job 2:1; 38:7 and LXX Gen 6:2, 4; Ps 28 [ET 29]:1), an individual designated ‘Son of God’ does not occur before Jesus’s incarnation (Bruce 53; Lane 1:26); thus the sg. τίνι is significant (Cockerill 103). The rhetorical question introduces the first pair of OT citations and is repeated in v. 13, forming an inclusio that brackets the catena.” (Page 23)
“The concept of Christ as the Son over the house of God is now developed in terms of Christ as the ἱερέα μέγαν. The expression ἱερέαμέγαν occurs in the LXX (e.g., Lev 21:10; Num 35:25; see Ellingworth 521–22).” (Page 274)
