The Other Side of Jordan - Commentary on the Book of Hebrews Earl Cripe

D. Earl Cripe, Ph. D (1934-2011) held firmly to Historic Orthodox Christian Theology that the Bible is the only guide to the faith and practice of the Church. Towards that end during his more than forty-seven years of ministry he penned numerous volumes of expository Bible commentaries. In them he takes the reader verse-by-verse through the chosen book of the Bible, explaining the original meanings and intentions along with the applications to the life of the serious believer of Christ in simple language that anyone can grasp. They are essential reading for the serious Christian looking to further their understanding of the Holy Scriptures. This volume is a verse-by-verse study of the Book of Hebrew. Rev. Cripe believes this may be his most important and needed commentary to date. The Book of Hebrews is among the most misunderstood and mistaught in all of the Bible. The notion that it was written by a Hebrew to Jewish Christians and that you have to be a Jew to really understand it is far off the mark. It was not written to Jews exclusively and probably not written by a Hebrew, as the opening chapter seems to establish. The Theme of the Book is Sanctification. The message is what Christ and the Cross have done to make sanctified living possible and mandatory for the Church. If you read this book carefully and prayerfully it will definitely help you in your walk of faith.
