I am always glad to run across a high-quality commentary on the Bible for free. They are hard to find.

I wasn't able to find any ratings or reviews from others on this one. So, I personally examined the book some. This succinct (169 pages is brief for a commentary on Hebrews!) commentary seems to hit all of the high points in the epistle. It looks to be a good one that has been well researched. The author, Ian Pennicook, has written many books. And, in addition to being the director of New Creation Teaching Ministry, he is (or was) Head of Theology at Tabor College's Sydney (Australia) campus.

Title: The Shadow and the Substance: A Commentary on the Letter to the Hebrews.
Format: Pdf.
Author(s): Ian Pennicook.
Publisher: New Creation Publications Inc.
Pages: xiii + 169.
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews (Amazon): N/A.
Price: $0.00.
Lowest Price of physical copy: The book is out of print. The least expensive new copy that I could find is $4.89 AUD ($3.54 USD) at KooRong Books in Australia.
Book Description (from the back of the dustjacket):
. . .
The Letter to the Hebrews is a book that speaks about Jesus Christ and all that he has accomplished. Its aim was to encourage people who were in danger of giving way to the appeal of culture and to the pressures which came upon them.

It was written to a situation far removed from our own, yet the answers to the questions in the first century are still relevant to men and women of the twenty-first century. Jesus Christ in the new covenant confirmed by his death is the substance of all that was but shadow under the old covenant. And faith, now as then, knows the substance.

The writer has given us a simple summary of the Letter to the Hebrews. This work should be a valuable addition to other commentaries and will prove useful not only to thoughtful scholars and students but also to those whose aim is simply to get to the substance.
Comments: This book was offered and posted on the New Creation Teaching Ministry's website as a free download. I believe this to be a legal free download because of the fact that the author is (or was) the director of the New Creation Teaching Ministry, the organization which apparently succeeded the publisher of the book, New Creation Publications Inc.
