GUTHRIE, REV. DR. JOHN.
Heroes of Faith as Delineated in Hebrews.
Glasgow: John S Mark & Sons, 1878. 1st edition. "The Epistle to the Hebrews is peculiar in every feature. The people to whom it was addressed, their past, their present, the intense Judaism they had left, the intese Pentecostal Christianity they embraced in its stead, the intensely vexatious, though (thanks to their Roman masters), on the whole, bloodless persecution that was now drifting some of them into apostasy, the intensity of argumentation, warning, and appeal by which the inspired author of this Epistle seeks to confirm or reclaim them, present a 'tout ensemble' of impassioned and strongly-marked singularities which could meet only in the Palestinian Christianity of that age." Pp.192, name and rectangular rubbed patch to front free endpaper, toning to inner endpapers, minor spotting to closed page edges. Blue/green cloth edges rubbed, gilt title to spine. G+.
