Summary: Exceeds expectations
Comment: Like all commentary sets, the Anchor series varies in quality. There are some really terrific New Testament volumes (eg., Acts and Romans by Fitzmyer, 1 & 2 Thessalonians by Malherbe, James by L.T. Johnson), and this work on Hebrews by Craig Koester is now one of the finest in the Anchor series. Koester's work is extraordinarily lucid. The introduction is simply a masterpiece! Koester clearly presents the background, the author's use of classical rhetoric, and the history of debate surrounding Hebrews.

One could wish for more interaction with other commentators throughout the work, but it is hard to complain with such penetrating and lucid exegesis. After all, the work is already near 600 pages and would have been much larger had Koester engaged in further interaction.

I appreciate the way in which Koester gets to the heart of the matter in the text without loosing sight of the context. For those who have struggled with the warning passages (6:4, ff and 10:26, ff), I think you will find Koester's explanation especially cogent and helpful. Koester's treatment of Christology in Hebrews is profound.

Overall, IMHO, this is one of the finest commentaries available on Hebrews. The clarity of Koester's work makes studying Hebrews a joy.
