In this first episode of our apologetics Bible Study on the book of Hebrews, we look at the historical and literary setting of the text and examine the amazing prologue of the book (verses 1–4). In just this opening passage, we learn much about the divinity and superiority of Jesus and how His story began in the Old Testament (Tanakh) and is grounded in the Torah.
