The present work unites two previously published studies by Albert Vanhoye on the Epistle to the Hebrews: Le message de l'Epitre aux Hebreux (Paris 1977) and A structured Translation of the Epistle to the Hebrews (Rome, 1964). The former was an example of haute vulgarisation: a presentation in non-technical language of the literary genre of Hebrews, of questions concerning its author, and of the problem of the priesthood in the Old Testament cult and how Hebrews respond to this problem with his own message about the priesthood of Christ. This message is seen to emerge from a detailed analysis of the structure of the epistle. The structure is then presented in the form of a literal translation of the entire epistle with careful indication of the elements which delimit and characterize its several parts.
