[Hebrews 11:1] There are an abundance of things not seen-an anonymous author to an anonymous congregation-in this Epistle, but its faithfulness shines clearly.

Taken by itself the retributive approach is primitive and unenlightened, falling short of the rational civilized humanitarian values which we have now...
