About the Book

The purpose of this book, A Commentary on the Epistle of Paul: The Apostle to The Hebrews is to provide an inspiring, systematic, devotional, biblical study for laypersons and clergy alike. Like Paul, Dr. Wylie intends to show the superiority and finality of God’s Revelation to men through Jesus Christ as over against Judaism or any other previous revelation of God. Another purpose for this book is to inform discouraged Christians and to render spiritual support from the epistle to the Hebrews and by innumerable examples both of Christ and those who had successfully live by faith. Central to the purpose of this writing is the necessity to look away from our trials, tribulations, and life circumstances and look unto Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith, who reigns as the Supreme Example above all and over all in heaven and earth forever. Like Paul, Dr. Wylie’s reasoning in behalf of the readers is that this is what the New Testament church needs above all else to make us all strong (and keep us strong) in the Christian faith. Central to the heart of this commentary as that of Hebrews is the concept of Christ as the perfect example and perfect high priest of God, who establishes the new covenant both by his priestly work and his sacrificial death.


About the Author

The Reverend Dr. John Thomas Wylie is one who has dedicated his life to the work of God’s service, the service of others, and being a powerful witness for the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Dr. Wylie was called into the gospel ministry in June 1979, whereby in that same year he entered the American Baptist College of the American Baptist Theological Seminary, Nashville, Tennessee. As a young seminarian, he read every book available to him that would help him better his understanding of God, as well as God’s plan of salvation and the Christian faith. He made a commitment as a promising student that he would inspire others as God inspires him. He understood early in his ministry that we live in times where people question not only who God is but whether miracles are real, whether or not man can make a change, and who the enemy is or if the enemy truly exists. Dr. Wylie carried out his commitment to God, which has been one of excellence, which led to his earning his bachelors of arts in Bible/theology/pastoral studies. Faithful and obedient to the call of God, he continued to matriculate in his studies, earning his masters of ministry from Emmanuel Bible College, Nashville, Tennessee, and Emmanuel Bible College, Rossville, Georgia. Still inspired to please the Lord and do that which is well, pleasing in the Lord’s sight, Dr. Wylie recently, on March 2006, completed his masters of education degree with a concentration in instructional technology, earned at the American Intercontinental University, Holloman Estates, Illinois. Dr. Wylie, also previous to this, earned his education specialist degree from Jones International University, Centennial, Colorado, and his doctorate of theology from the Holy Trinity College and Seminary, St. Petersburg, Florida. Dr. Wylie has served in the capacity of pastor at two congregations in Middle Tennessee and Southern Tennessee, as well as served as a pastor, evangelistic preacher, teacher, chaplain, Christian dducator, and finally a published author and writer of many great inspirational Christian publications, such as his first publication, “Only One God: Who Is He?” published August 2002 via formally 1st Books Library (which is now AuthorHouse Book Publishers located in Bloomington, Indiana, and Milton Keynes, United Kingdom), which caught the attention of the Atlanta Journal Constitution Newspaper. Dr. Wylie’s first publication received a strong initial response, as did his second, third, and fourth publications, entitled The Miracles of Christ, Know Your Enemy: The Devil, The Minister’s Friend, A Believing Behaving Faith, and It’s Time for a Change, which also are published via AuthorHouse Book Publishers. Finally, Dr. Wylie’s seventh and present publication in a series, A Commentary on the Epistle of Paul: The Apostle to the Hebrews, is also a very exceptional and yet inspiring work by a God-fearing man who is not only exceptional, a prolific writer, or inspiring himself, but he also allows God to lead him. Dr. Wylie is one of whom many think very highly of and is well sought after by many of his peers. This publication is a must read. We hope you enjoy this reading and will be encouraged and blessed abundantly as much as we enjoyed publishing such a skillfully mastered, well–thought-out, God-inspiring work.
