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 have always belived that Timothy wrote Heb. Why? Because in some KJV Bibles there's a small note that says the book was written from Italy by TIMOTHY. Bruce Metzger and Henry Halley accept Pauline authorship; J. Vernon McGee lays out a defense of Pauline authorship. Only God knows. |
