The Book Of Hebrews: Old Testament Meets The New In Christ

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 28, 2021

Many think of Romans when they think about a systematic theology of Christianity. But there is another book that speaks forth systematic theology in my view, the book of Hebrews.

They were the ultimate church plant. They started with 11, grew to 120, then to 3000. Not bad, as a matter of fact very good. But how did they do it?
