Was Hebrews written by a preacher?
A:We do not actually know who wrote Hebrews, although it clearly was written very early in Christian history. The conclusion to the book was added in order to suggest that Paul was the author, but scholars say this clearly was not the case. Hebrews does read rather like a sermon, and that might have been its purpose, so it is possible that its author was a preacher.
Who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews?
The Epistle to the Hebrews, or Book of Hebrews, was written anonymously. During the second century, it was attributed to the apostle Paul and as a result included in the New Testament, instead of being discarded and forgotten. It is now generally recognised that Hebrews was not written by Paul, because its theology and style are too different from his. We do not know who wrote the Book of Hebrews.
Who other than Paul has been considered as the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews?
A:Apart from Paul, it has also been speculated that Priscilla, a female colleague of Paul, could have written Hebrews. Against this is that the author refers to himself in the masculine gender in Hebrews 11:32. Here, the Greek word for "tell" is masculine and refers to the person writing. There have been attempts to explain this anomaly, thereby allowing the possibility of Priscilla being the author of Hebrews, but they are not convincing. Also, if Priscilla had written the book, one would expect the theology of Hebrews to approximate the theology taught by Paul, which is certainly not the case. Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that the author may not have had as quick and sharp a mind as Paul, or as personal and passionate an approach to public debate and theological argumentation, but he was far superior to Paul in learning, analytical capacity and systematic thinking. However, that description tells us little about who wrote the book. We do not know who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews.It was probably the later attribution to Paul that ensured that Hebrews would be canonised in the New Testament, otherwise it could have been lost to history forever.Another Answer:More recently, many now think Timothy, wrote all but the ending of Hebrews which is still attributed to Paul after his release from prison.
