Epistle to the Hebrews: Apostasy: major Biblical commentaries
The Epistle to the Hebrews is an empassioned treatise on the superiority of Christianity compared to Judaism, of the Gospel of Christ compared to the Law of Moses. All major biblical scholars and expositors over the centuries concur in their understanding that the leading object of the author of this work is to guard those to whom it was addressed against the deadly danger of provoking the wrath of the Lord by apostasy from Christianity, by falling away from Christ and turning back to Judaism.[1]
