Impossible to be Restored?: Temptation and Warning in the Epistle of Hebrews

The letter to the Hebrews contains and engages with some of the most perplexing passages of Scripture. Temptation and apostasy provide one way of reading this New Testament book.

This volume in the New Studies in Biblical Theology series examines the Letter to the Hebrews, what temptation its audience was facing, and what Hebrews meant when it warned that some who fall away cannot be restored to repentance.

Marcus A. Mininger addresses questions such as:

- Is the sin of apostasy unforgiveable?

- Are apostate Christians unable to return to Christ ever again and to his church?

Setting the letter in the context of scholarly debate, Mininger addresses these contested issues in a fresh way, while also demonstrating the cohesive nature of the Epistle in relation to key biblical-theological themes.

Deeply exegetical, sensitive to wider themes, and rigorously engaged with scholarly literature, Impossible to be Restored? also shows the ongoing relevance of the Letter to the Hebrews for the challenges facing the church today, both internally and externally.

This is a volume in the New Studies in Biblical Theology. The NSBT is a series of monographs that address key issues in the discipline of biblical theology.
