Best Answer

The author of the book is unknown but it was written for the Hebrews, but it has applications for us today.

Another perspective:As its name implies, Hebrews was written specifically for the benefit of Jewish converts to Christianity. It encourages these Jewish Christians to stand fast in their new faith, and it fully explains the relationship between the Old covenant of the Law (under which they and their ancestors had lived and worshiped for so long) and the New covenant in Christ. The detailed explanation of the relationship between the covenants continues to be of invaluable benefit today, regardless of the readers' background.

Who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews?

The Epistle to the Hebrews, or Book of Hebrews, was written anonymously.
