The book successfully shows that filial language is prominent and paramount, and permeates the christology and ecclesiology of the letter. It contributes significantly to our understanding of the framework and offers valid critique for the neglect in scholarship and the need to pay closer attention to kinship lexemes in Hebrews.

Peeler’s groundbreaking study of the sonship of Jesus makes a lasting contribution to Hebrews scholarship by shining a light on the Father-Son relationship of God and Jesus that creates the family of God and extends it to all who are children of God.
