Kregel Publications’ has just put out Charts on
the Book of Hebrews, by Herbert W. Bateman IV, as part of their series
of Charts of the Bible and Theology. If you have not used chart books before,
they are very helpful in seeing main theological ideas and in getting an
overall sense of a book of the Bible. Chart books are perfect for the visual
learner and help systematize concepts in a clear and tangible way.
As a High School Bible teacher, distilling complex ideas
into simple visuals is very important. Communicating overall themes, authorship
theories and theological concepts, in easy to read and understandable charts,
helps Bible readers to be able to better decipher the scriptures and to see the
structure of a book more clearly as they study it.
Hebrews is an excellent book, which connects the Old
Testament with the New Testament, and this book of scripture is a great tool to
study the Pentateuch and the tabernacle. Charts
on the Book of Hebrews has detailed charts, which map out the tabernacle
and connects the book Hebrews’ passages with the Pentateuch. Charts on the Book of Hebrews is an
excellent resource for teaching and for understanding the book of Hebrews.
Charts
on the Book of Hebrews is very detailed and comprehensive and offers a
scholarly, yet simple and accessible, approach to studying the book of Hebrews.
As a teacher and as a student of the scriptures, I highly recommend this book.

Kregel Publications’ website also offers the following description of Charts on the Book of Hebrews:
The book of Hebrews
presents interpretive challenges and theological comparisons unrivaled in the
New Testament. Charts on the Book of Hebrews puts this demanding yet rewarding
information in an accessible and useful format. The charts fall into four
categories:
- Introductory matters (e.g., authorship of Hebrews)
- Influences in Hebrews (e.g. Second Temple messianic figures)
- Theological issues (e.g. words of exhortation)
- Exegetical concerns (e.g. figures of speech)
Students will find
this an invaluable companion to classes on Hebrews. Pastors and teachers will
benefit from these insightful charts to quickly clarify difficult concepts
while teaching. And all visual learners will find that these charts make
Hebrews more comprehensible.
In exchange for this unbiased review, I received a free copy
of Charts on the Book of
Hebrews, by Herbert W. Bateman IV, from Kregel Publications.
