About this Book

B.F. Westcott (1825-1901) was Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge and later consecrated Bishop of Durham. He is regarded one of the most significant biblical scholars of the nineteenth century. Known primarily for his contribution to the Westcott-Hort Greek text of the New Testament, Westcott wrote a number of biblical commentaries and sermon collections.

B.F. Westcott's classic commentary on the Greek version of Hebrews. Contains extensive verse-by-verse exegetical commentary, as well as multiple “dissertations” on various subjects relating to the epistle.

The Epistle to the Hebrews is an invaluable tool to gain a better understanding of the Greek translation of Hebrews. Brooke Foss (B. F.) Westcott, a renowned scholar and English bishop, produced this explanation, reflection, and application of this general epistle. Among Westcott's works is a thorough translation of the New Testament. 

“Every student of the Epistle to the Hebrews must feel that it deals in a peculiar degree with the thoughts and trials of our own time,” B. F. Westcott writes as he opens his in-depth commentary on Hebrews. This commentary is part of a joint project on the New Testament planned in 1860 by Westcott, Lightfoot, and Hort.
