You're right. He didn't but it certainly is "Paulian". Either a close follower or Apollos. Luke recording a sermon given by Paul is certainly possible.
It is an exceptional writing. Exceptional. It is probably one of my favorite books in the canon. Extraordinary. Magnificent. I love to preach from the first few verses on how God speaks....

I always assumed it was Barnabas, but I don't have scholarly support for that. It just reads like the epistle of Barnabas (assuming Barnabas actually wrote that, too).

The epistle of Barnabus was written too late. It might have been based on Hebrews.

I heard Dabo wrote it
Deborah pre-dated Hebrews by a few thousand years
Al Gore wrote it.
Well, he claims to have invented the internet, so him taking credit for writing Hebrews wouldn't be too much of a stretch for him, would it?
LOL!!

not talking about deborah...... but priscilla..... . .... she had the knowledge... the education and ability..... ... and some scholars point out it was common then for female writers to write in a masculine style to gain credibility.......
but then....... when i looked at hebrews in my 1611 king james there is a foot note at the end of the book which blames timothy for writing it........ ....... wow...
LOL.... Timothy is everywhere....
I tell people that my wife is a prophetess. She always foretelling my future and she's "batting" about 1000.
Its....you're going to take out the trash. You're going to wash the car. You're going to mow the yard. Man.... does she know what I'm going to be do....

(well... actually it;s not a question in my mind... but a question i;m curious to see how others here might answer).... is..... if it was discovered that a female....

Reminds me of a scene from "Trail of the Screaming Forehead" where a woman posits a theory that all of our intelligence is actually in our forehead. One scientist says that's ridiculous.
The woman responds, "Is it, really? Or are you just saying that because I'm a woman?"
The scientist says, "No, if a man came up with that theory I'd still say it was ridiculous!"
The woman responds, "And what if that man.. was a woman?"

I just opened my bible to the Book of Hebrews and it clearly says "The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews."
I guess that settles it!
