Hebrews 11 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Many people refer to this chapter as the "Hall of Fame of Faith." This is because it chronicles the people in history with the greatest faith in God. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith)
Having contrasted Christianity with Judaism, the author now begins to show the continuity between the two. In both the old and new covenants, God required faith.
