The 1st test of canonicity for a New Testament book of the Bible is that the book had to be written or backed by an apostle. In other words, it had to have an apostolic signature or apostolic authorization.
The authorship of Hebrews is uncertain, dating between 64 and 68 AD. Suggestions of the author include Paul, Barnabas, Apollos, Silas, Aquila and Priscilla, and Clement of Rome. Nevertheless, no one is certain of who the author of Hebrews was.
My question is, how and when was Hebrews included in Biblical canon.
Incidentally, I love Hebrews...one of the most wonderful books about faith in the New Testament! My question is of a historical nature. I have no ulterior motive to bring the Book of Hebrews into question.
