Our Man In Heaven: An Exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews
At the end of the second century, opinion was divided regarding the
authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews. Clement of Alexandria
believed that Paul wrote the epistle in Hebrew and that Luke translated
it into Greek. Origen thought that someone familiar with Paul's
teachings wrote Hebrews, but he added his now-famous remark that "who
really wrote the letter is known to God alone." At Carthage, Tertullian
suggested the name of Barnabas. Christians in Rome and in the West
generally confessed that they did not know who wrote Hebrews. Archer
points out that "none of the ancient authorities... entertained any
doubt as to the canonicity (i.e. the divine inspiration) of the
Epistle," however, and that "in any event the primary author... is God
Himself, no matter which human instrument He used." In the days of the
Reformation, Luther favored Apollos as the author and Calvin looked to
Clement of Rome or possibly Luke.
