Modern, major commentaries 

on Hebrews

The following commentaries have been published since 1998, and are at least 200 pages long. Links are provided to Amazon when Amazon allows you to look inside the book. Sometimes only a few pages can be viewed; on other books it is much more. This is not an endorsement of any book, or of Amazon. Use bookfinder.com to find cheaper prices. I do not include books that are Kindle only, since any serious publisher will have a print edition. Small publishers may include idiosyncratic works with no peer review.
