The Book of Hebrews

This post is a quote from a Martin Luther sermon on the book of Hebrews.

"This is a strong, forcible, noble epistle, preeminently and emphatically teaching the great article of faith concerning the Godhead, or the divinity of Christ. . . Certain it is, no epistle enforces the Scriptures with greater power than does this."
"Now, the object of the epistle is to establish and promote faith in the divinity of Christ, and, as already stated, scarce any portion of the Bible more strongly enforces this article of our creed. We must, therefore, confine to its words and treat it in regular order, item by item."

- Martin Luther, on the book of Hebrews
