One of the focal issues surrounding contemporary studies of Hebrews concerns the book's elusive structure. This volume presents an examination of previous proposals and a fresh attempt at unlocking Hebrews' organizational principles.

Methodologies considered include thematic analysis, literary analysis, rhetorical analysis, and linguistic analysis.
