The NIV translates part of Hebrews 2:10 as, "it was fitting that God . . . should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered." Prof. Peeler explains what is intended by the imagery of the key Greek words translated as "pioneer" and "make perfect." Amy Peeler is the Kenneth T. Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College. Her most recent publication is Hebrews (Commentaries for Christian Formation). Another is Women and the Gender of God and she is presently working on Paul's Letter to the Galatians.
