The '''Epistle to the Hebrews''' is a book in the [[New Testament]], a flawless masterpiece superior in elegance and language purity to all of [[Greek]] literature. Extraordinarily persuasive and perfectly logical, this guided most of the [[New Testament]].<ref>See [[Mystery:Was Epistle to the Hebrews the Foundation of NT]]?</ref> '''''Only 4,953 words long, it's a life-changer to read'''''. It's a very [[manliness|manly]] text, expressed with powerful authority as [[Jesus]] taught.

The main theological theme of Hebrews is that Jesus Christ is supreme. Christ is superior to all of the elements and mediators of the Old Covenant (the Angels, Moses, Aaron, the earthly tabernacle/temple, etc.). Specifically, Christ is supreme as a revealer and mediator of God’s new covenant of [[grace]]. Other theological themes include: Doctrine of God, [[soteriology]] (Doctrine of [[salvation]]), anthropology (Doctrine of Human Beings), [[Christology]] (Doctrine of Christ) and an explanation of the dimensions of faith.<ref>[https://www.emmanuelcedarpark.church/blog/epistle-hebrews-christ-reigns-supreme/#:~:text=Theme%3A,God's%20new%20covenant%20of%20grace.
