The Epistle to the Hebrews on the Death of Christ

Closely connected to Paul’s letters, yet almost certainly written by someone else, the Epistle to the Hebrews stands as one of the most striking and instructive writings in the New Testament. What makes it especially notable is how directly and powerfully it presents the death of Christ as the divinely intended means by which humanity is saved from sin — even more explicitly, in some ways, than Paul’s own writings.
