The authorship of the Book of Hebrews is anonymous.

It could be one of the following:
Paul, Luke, Barnabas, Silas, or Apollos.

Some say Paul, others say Apollo while others say Luke. Internal textual evidence points away from Paul. No one knows for sure. All we know is the book is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Good question. Remember, no matter what answers you get no one really knows for sure. It's simple speculation.

The Epistle to the Hebrews is anonymous. The name of Paul was not associated with it until the end of the second century.

Here according to Hebrews, God in the Old Testament days spoke to the fathers by the prophets, but in the New Testament days God has spoken to us by His Son Jesus.

That question has gone around and been debated for many centuries. I don't think that it was Paul because Paul always introduced himself and signed his letters. Personally I think that it might have been Apollos because Apollos was a great preacher strong in the Scriptures and he gained his knowledge of the gospel second hand unlike Paul who was taught by revelation from Jesus.

The book of Hebrews is called that because of the extensive references to the O.T. Another thing to note is that all of the references come from the Septuagint, the Greek version of the O.T. That fits with what someone like Apollos who was from Africa but who traveled with Paul and Timothy might have written.

Acts 18:24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, 28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

Hebrews 2:2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

Hebrews 13:23 You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. 24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings. 25 Grace be with all of you.

Paul

2007-03-05 12:36:01 · answer #5 · answered by Rachel 1 · 0 2

Unknown... Though it was historically attributed to Paul, its style and vocabulary bear little resemblance to those letters which have Paul named as the author. The early church was unanimous that it be included among the canon (meaning that it was part of God's message) but there was no consensus as to its authorship.

It uses HUNDREDS of words which ARE NOT FOUND in Romans-Philemon. Because of this, I STRONGLY DOUBT that it was penned by Paul.

There are several people who have been suggested as possible writers, most notably Barnabas and Apollos.

There is some debate over that among certain scholars. But personally I believe Paul wrote the whole thing.

None really knows and many debates have been had over this controversy but it may be Paul...or maybe John.

We don't know for sure. However, just to stir up some controversy lets just say I think it was Priscilla.
