520 |a In Hebrews—An Interpretation, the long-time Hebrews expert, James Swetnam, distils a lifetime’s worth of insights on the epistle into a brief and accessible format. This volume will serve as a valuable addition to the shelf of any pastor or reader who seeks an intelligible guide into the details of the Greek text, incorporated within a compelling big-picture overview of the epistle’s message and purpose.Swetnam, who has consistently published on the epistle since his CBQ article on Hebrews 9:15-18 in 1965, has been persuaded over the years towards the traditional position of Pauline authorship (following the reasoning, as similarly articulated by Clement of Alexandria, that the absence of Paul’s name is related to his apostleship to the Gentiles rather than Jews; cf. Eusebius, Hist. eccl. 6.14.4). Considering the impossibility of settling the question with confidence, however, Swetnam does not make this position weight-bearing for any of his broader arguments on the epistle’s message. Swetnam also makes clear that he writes from a Catholic standpoint, which is much more readily detectable in reading through the details of his interpretation. Nevertheless, the approach is not heavy-handed, and the non-Catholic reader will find much to ponder and appreciate. With respect to dating, Swetnam identifies the text as most likely written in the early 60s ad, with the audience being Christians in Rome from Jewish backgrounds.
