The Letter to the Hebrews

This course is a study of the Letter to the Hebrews. The lessons are organized into subjects of one week study per lesson.
The inspired writer of the Letter to the Hebrews describes the New Covenant established in Christ by comparing the code, creed, and cult of the Sinai Covenant, especially in the context of the Old Covenant sacrificial system, with how Christ fulfilled and transformed the Old into the New. This deeply christological letter provides the key to understanding significance of the Old Covenant as it prepared the way for the Kingdom of Heaven on earth established in the dignity and identity of Jesus Christ as the High Priest of the New Covenantal order&mdashlthe Catholic Church.
