If they do not, they will misunderstand the Old Testament and will also fail to fully appreciate what the Lord Jesus Christ has done, what he is doing now, and what he is going to do in the future. As a result, they will remain spiritually stunted.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, plenty of books have been written to explain Hebrews, but only a few of them have had ordinary Christians in mind. Some of them are so large and so complicated that they appear to be the last word. Experts enjoy books like these, but everybody else is left bewildered.<\/p>\n<p>This book does not pretend to be &#8216;the last word&#8217; but perhaps, for some, it will prove useful as &#8216;the first word&#8217;. Stuart Olyott explains Hebrews as clearly as the subject matter allows, keeping in mind the advice of Albert Einstein that &#8216;things should be as simple as possible, but no simpler&#8217;. Crystal clear explanation of the text is followed by detailed practical application. Indeed this book contains many applications, some of which are very direct.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout, the aim of the author is to focus our gaze upon Christ so that we might follow him with renewed courage.<\/p>\n<h3>Reviews<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/resources\/book-review-resources\/2010\/review-i-wish-someone-would-explain-hebrews-to-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Review by Alan Hill<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/resources\/book-review-resources\/2012\/olyott-on-hebrews-a-review-by-bob-thomas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Review by Bob Thomas<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this straightforward commentary, Olyott gives crystal clear explanations of the text, followed by detailed practical applications. 208pp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":248824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1499,5610,1228],"product_tag":[6364,19309],"class_list":{"0":"post-494","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-commentaries","7":"product_cat-ebooks","8":"product_cat-sermons-and-expositions","9":"product_tag-ebooks","10":"product_tag-paperback-commentaries","11":"pa_binding-ebook","12":"pa_binding-paperback","13":"pa_binding-paperback-ebook","14":"pa_class-bp","15":"pa_era-today","16":"pa_format-book","17":"pa_isbn-3286","18":"pa_original-pub-date-1459","19":"pa_page-count-2272","20":"pa_recent-pub-date-feb-1-2010","21":"pa_recent-pub-date-year-6166","22":"pa_scripture-hebrews-new-testament","23":"pa_short-isbn-6186","24":"pa_theauthor-olyott-stuart","25":"pa_topic-biblical-studies","27":"first","28":"instock","29":"sale","30":"taxable","31":"shipping-taxable","32":"purchasable","33":"product-type-variable","34":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":72,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I Wish Someone Would Explain Hebrews to Me &#8211;
