Four Views on the Warning Passages in Hebrews - Paperback
by Herbert W. Bateman IV (Editor)
Using the popular four-views format, this volume explores the meaning of the five warning passages in the book of Hebrews to both the original readers and us today. Each of the four New Testament scholars present and defend their view and critique the view of their interlocutors. This unique volume will help readers better understand some of the most difficult passages in all of Scripture. Contributors include Grant R. Osborne, Buist M. Fanning, Gareth L. Cockerill, and Randall C. Gleason.
Can believers lose their salvation if they fall away from God's grace?
Is there no restoration for a backslidden believer?
Does salvation involve past, present, and/or future dimensions?
These and other questions challenge readers of the five warning passages in Hebrews (2:1-4; 3:7-4:13; 5:11-6:12; 10:19-39; 12:14-29), verses that deliver both stern warnings and positive encouragement. Using the popular four-views format, this volume explores the original and contemporary meaning of these difficult passages, and promises to become a definitive resource for readers in both the academy and the local church.
Four Views on the Warning Passages in Hebrews brings together four internationally known biblical scholars--Gareth Cockerill, Buist Fanning, Grant Osborne, and Randall Gleason, all of whom have previously written on Hebrews. After each contributor presents and defends his position, it is critiqued by the other three contributors. Additional features include an introduction by the editor and a conclusion by George H. Guthrie, who summarizes the issues and offers pointed questions for further reflection.
