    What would Jewish priests in the first century have thought of Jesus and his priestly ministry? In a word—not much; at least, until they encountered the inspired Letter to the Hebrews. The priestly audience of this NT epistle, though small in number, would have had an enormous influence upon in the spread of the Gospel, given their influence in Judaism, and in the life of the Jerusalem Temple. Hebrews was likely written to just such a group of skeptical Jewish priests—to persuade them to leave the old Temple, “made with hands,” and to embrace the new Temple, and eternal priesthood of Jesus Christ.

    Far from being a study locked in antiquity, this engaging series will open up new vistas of spirituality and worship for today’s Catholic believer. Open your Bible to Hebrews and join Dr. Steven Smith on the winding road that leads to “So Great a Cloud of Witnesses.”

A great study on Hebrews

I've read Hebrews several times in the past. Dr. Smith really brought Hebrews to light for me by walking through the Levitical priesthood, the Melchizedekian priesthood, then Jesus as our true High Priest. This was a great study. I learned a lot. Thank you!

Fantastic Study!

This was my first study with Dr. Steven Smith and I LOVED IT. I have many studies with Dr. Pitre and Bergsma and initially was hesitant to try a new teacher/lecturer. But this study is FANTASTIC. Detailed, packed with info and and very helpful. Dr. Steven Smith is awesome!
