Bible Question:
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? |
Bible Answer: I am not aware of any reason to ascribe this work to any individual. However I think that Apollos is the most likely, since it doesn't bear anyone's name it is probably not Paul. Apollos is called a man mighty in the Scriptures, which seems to fit the description of whoever wrote this book. I have tried to get away from the tendency to say, "Paul, in the book of Ephesians" because it wasn't Paul, who said it, it is God who is saying it. Just my thoughts. I hope they bring you to think. |
