bulletReading the Text:
bullet NRSV (with link to Anglicized NRSV) at Oremus Bible Browser.
bullet The Bible Gateway: NIV, NASB, CEV, The Message, KJV, etc.
bulletThe Blue Letter Bible -  KJV, alternate versions, Greek text with concordance, commentaries.
bulletThe World Wide Study Bible includes commentary, exposition and sermons.
bulletHistorical References, Commentary and Comparative Texts:
bullet Chapter IX, The Epistle of Ignatius to the Trallians, Ignatius of Antioch (c. 110). (Longer Version - 4th cent interpolation)
bullet Vision III.6, Similitude IX.33, Shepherd of Hermas. (c.145)
bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"Having mentioned the last coming of Christ, he stirs up the godly to the meditation of a holy life, and cites the faithless fallers from God to the fearful judgment seat of the Judge, because they wickedly rejected him in whom only salvation consists."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"Believers are to consider how they can be of service to each other, especially stirring up each other to the more vigorous and abundant exercise of love, and the practice of good works."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"As by rending the veil in the temple, the holy of holies became visible and accessible; so by wounding the body of Christ, the God of heaven was manifested, and the way to heaven opened."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"What it is to be a high priest after the order of Melchisedec is set forth, Heb 7:1-25, as contrasted with the Aaronic order. That Christ, however, as High Priest, is Aaron's antitype in the true holy place, by virtue of His self-sacrifice here on earth, and Mediator of a better covenant, whose essential character the old only typified, we learn, Heb 7:26-9:12."
bullet"The Rent Veil; Matthew 27:50,51; Hebrews 10:19,20," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1888.
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"It has now been shown that Christ has, as our high priest, opened the way into the holiest of all, the heavens, for us. Hence we may follow with boldness. We have the assurance of heaven."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
bullet Commentary, Hebrews 10:16-25 (Good Friday), Dwight Peterson, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
bullet"In Hebrews, the theological arguments-- which are made in gloriously complex detail-- are not made just for the sake of being made. Instead, these arguments always have ethical implications. The indicative in Hebrews is always followed by the imperative... or in this case, by the hortatory subjunctive."
bullet "First Thoughts on Epistle Passages in the Lectionary," Good Friday, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"Like much of Hebrews this passage is alien, yet in other ways very real and relevant. Our task is to use the same level of creativity which the author used to retell the story of Jesus in images that make sense to our hearers."
bullet "First Thoughts on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary: Pentecost 24," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"Hebrews has its own cultural way of engaging the issues. If we can listen across the cultural divide which separates his world and ours, we can sense that it is very much about the totality of divine love and the rejection of the power-mongering of those who want to set themselves and their systems up as a form of control between us and God."
bullet Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
bullet "Faith, Hope & Love in Hebrews," Mary Hinkle, Pilgrim Preaching: Keeping Company with biblical texts and the people who hear and preach them.
bullet"So… if I were preaching this text, I would probably never say "let us." I would, however, try to preach that "done" news so clearly that people knew by the end of the sermon that they could approach in faith, hold fast to their hope and show love to others: the work that Christ has finished has made all that faith, hope and love possible for us."
bullet "Hebrews 10:1-18: Jesus Christ, The Final Sacrifice," Terry A. Larm, (Theological Gathering Winter 1997).
bullet"What does it take to put an end to sacrifices? There is one sacrifice, and only one, that puts an end to all other sacrifices. It is the sacrifice that God has willed. It is the sacrifice that is willingly given in absolute obedience to God's will. But it is not just a matter of obedience and will. It is also sacrifice. The "body" that God has prepared for the offering must be sacrificed. This atonement is the permanent one."
bullet "Christ's Single Offering," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources. Includes detailed textual notes.
bullet "A Word of Encouragement," Peter J. Gomes, The Christian Century. At Religion Online.
bullet"Christians, alas, are not famous for encouraging one another. Sometimes the phrase "Christian love" has an unintended sense of irony about it."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "Christology, Chiasm, and the Concept of Faith in Hebrews 10:19-39," Victor (Sung-Yul) Rhee, Filologia Neotestamentaria, 2003.
bullet"...a close examination of Hebrews 10:19-39 demonstrates that the author of Hebrews has Jesus as the object of faith for believers, even if it is not expressed in terms of 'faith in Christ.'"
bullet "Preaching on Hope," by Frederick Buechner at The Living Pulpit.
bullet"If preachers decide to preach about hope, let them preach out of what they themselves hope for."
