Who Wrote Book of Hebrews

There are clear shewing in some epistles, it was written and sent by others. Its clearly Paul's words but he didn't write all of itn
The issue with Hebrews is that it isn't clearly Paul's words. But it is clearly God's words.

Some think that John and Natthew used Mark as a source (or a common unknown writing) because of the similarities. BUT having God as the common Source means we should expect similarities.

It is Paul's words, if not, explain

1. Paul indicates he is the writer to all of his epistles, even when dictated. Not true of Hebrews.

2. Paul relies on his status as an Apostle "out of time" in his epistles. Not true if Hebrews.

3. The language and style of Hebrews differs from Paul's epistles (where his epistles are consistent).

4. The theology of Hebrews is different from the Pauline epistles.

5. The themes of Hebrews are different from Paul's writings.

6. The audience of Hebrews appears different from Paul's stated mission (an "Apostle to the Gentiles").

7. The early Christians did not believe Paul wrote Hebrews (primarily because it was so different from the theology ad language of Paul's epistles).


There is no reason, other than later tradition, to believe that Paul wrote Hebrews.

Why do you believe a Pauline authorship?

Paul was also an Hebrew, and I believe Book Titles.
