To study the Epistle to the Hebrews is to learn how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament. The epistle also indicates how we are to understand the unity of the two covenants. Although it does not say everything that needs to be said about the relationship of the two testaments, it is a major contribution towards clarifying that relationship.
Hebrews is, therefore, a powerful explanation and defense of the Christian faith. Its strategy is to show that Christ fulfills the Old Testament and to draw a sharp contrast between Judaism and Christian faith. The Epistle to the Hebrews is an attempt to demonstrate the superiority of Christ.
