ABOUT

This Website is focused exclusively on studies about the Book of Hebrews with the hope that we will discover how this exquisite letter applies to the church today.

All passages from Hebrews cited on this site's main passages are from the Emphasized Bible by Joseph Bryant Rotherham, arguably the most accurate translation of the letter.
