‘Stuart Olyott is . . . a master of good communication and clear Christ-centred teaching . . . In 23 chapters he carefully states, illustrates and applies the teaching of this letter. In every chapter he paraphrases each verse to bring home, in today’s English, the train of thought and argument. This is a most helpful feature as it enables the reader to grasp the big picture . . . This book does explain Hebrews!’
(Alan Hill on I Wish Someone Would Explain Hebrews to Me!, Stuart Olyott’s new commentary on Hebrews.)
