From Shadow to Substance

(published in 1977)

Description

Roy Hession says, ‘this book is a rediscovery of the inner message of the Epistle to the Hebrews, centred on the words, ‘let us go on’. It is, however, not intended to be a merely academic study of the great epistle, but is meant to be for the hungry-hearted, and I trust will be found loaded with encouraging applications for the neediest reader’.

I would be disappointed if all you got was a new understanding of the epistle rather than a new sight of Jesus. We today so often live as if we are bound by the old covenant, feeling that obedience is burdensomely demanded of us, rather than secured for us. When Christ is the substance of our lives, the law is written in our hearts’.
