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.

If Hebrews is properly regarded as a letter, or epistle, it is anonymous as, in spite of long-standing tradition, there is no attribution to the apostle Paul or any other first-century author.The Epistles now known as 1 John, 2 John and 3 John are signed only as from "the Presbyter" (or elder).
Who wrote the Book of Hebrews in the King James Bible?
A:The various translations of the Bible do not change who the original authors were, so it does not matter whether we read the King James Version, or any other English Bible. The Book of Hebrews was anonymous until late in the second century, when it began to be attributed to the apostle Paul. That attribution is no longer accepted, other than by conservative Christians, because Hebrews so obviously differs from Paul's own writings. So, once again, we do not know who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews. Additional Comments:In the early days of Christianity, only the Church at Alexandria strongly believed that Paul was the author of the Book of Hebrews. Tertullian postured that Barnabas wrote this book as he was a Levite, had a good quality use of Greek, and the parallel between Acts 4:36 and Hebrews 13:22. Not a very strong argument but one nonetheless.What is important to remember with Scripture is that all is inspired by God and He uses who He wills to write it down. Therefore, the personality who is credited with recording the teaching is in no way as important as the words themselves.

What is First Peter in the Bible?
AnswerThe book known as The First Epistle General of Peter, or either First Peter or 1 Peter, is an epistle or letter believed to have been written by an anonymous author and attributed to the Apostle Peter. It must have been written before 135 CE, since Polycarp refers to 1 Peter in his Letter to the Philippians. First Peter clearly had a different author than 2 Peter, which was written somewhat later. First Peter is considered by scholars to more closely reflect the theology of Paul, than that of the other 'Petrine' epistles, 2 Peter and Jude.
