Although called (in full) the "Epistle to the Hebrews", Hebrews has none of the characteristics of a letter, other than some travel plans and the final verses which might have been added in later times. If, as it seems, Hebrews was never intended as a letter, it was very likely written as a sermon. Thus, it can be called a sermonic epistle.

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 are the author of the book epistle?

Paul is the author of the book of epistles. Epistle means in letter form. The word "epistle" simply means "letter." There is no "Book Epistle" or "book of epistles." Though many modern scholars will argue over their authorship, Paul is generally accepted as the writer of all the New Testament letters, or epistles, from Romans through Philemon. The author of Hebrews is uncertain, and the "general epistles" following Hebrews were written by James, Peter, John and Jude. In a way, Revelation can also be thought of as an epistle since it was meant to be distributed and read throughout the churches. Its author was the apostle John.
