Why was the book of hebrews questioned to be put into the bible but was later accepted?

The books are included in the New Testament (NT) are based upon having some connection with or authorship by an Apostle. For example, Mark is not an Apostle but ancient church authorities connect him closely with Peter, perhaps as Peter's interpreter. Luke and Acts are in the NT because of Luke's close association with Paul.
When we come to the book of Hebrews, the question is - who wrote it? Was it an Apostle or someone known to be connected to an Apostle? Originally it was thought to be written by Paul, but the style and language of Hebrews does match what is written in Paul's other books (the Epistles, such as Romans and Ephesians). Most modern scholars agree that the writer was not Paul.
However, the book was known and accepted throughout the early church, and quoted by the early church leaders. It was accepted into the NT on this basis in the 4th century.
