1 | Who wrote the letter to the Hebrews? | Hebrews | stobor | 1094 | ||
Who wrote this letter? My old AV calls Hebrews "The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews," but no one seems to ascribe it to Paul anymore. I have heard Barnabas suggested as the author, and seem to recall the argument was convincing (but I didn't take any notes). Is anyone aware of sound reasons to ascribe this letter to one particular author? |

2 | Who wrote the letter to the Hebrews? | Hebrews | Makarios | 8331 | ||
Good question.. I've heard strong arguments for Paul being ascribed to as the author of the book of Hebrews and strong arguments for Barnabas. Les Feldick's (Bible teacher out of Oklahoma) opinion is that it was Paul, since he could not give his name in the letter (since he was writing to the Jews), and because he "proved" Christ through his deep, detailed, and inspired writing that is so intellectually provoking (as with other letters of his such as Romans). My professor at Indiana Wesleyan University feels (or felt in 1994) that it was Barnabas since he did not give his name and other 'internal' evidence from the letter that (in his opinion) suggested that it was written by someone other than Paul. What is my opinion? My opinion is that it was Barnabas. But I could be wrong. :) | ||||||
