Bible Question: What books of the new testament did paul not write? |
Bible Answer: Hi LJ... Vintage has given you a good answer, but you can probably count-out the book of Hebrews. The author of Hebrews does not name himself as Paul does in his writings. Several of the most astute Church fathers, also recognize a distinct difference in writing stile between the book of Hebrews and Paul's writings. In Hebrews 2:3b the author, (speaking of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, spoken by Jesus Christ) says: "it was confirmed to us by those who heard" Clearly, the author was not a witness of Christ's teaching and heard it from others who were, and, Paul was a witness. So it could not have been Paul. Most scholars today, agree that the author of Hebrews is anonymous. John |
