The epistle of Hebrews is the only New Testament book whose author remains a mystery. Although some Bibles call it "The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews" his name does not appear in the letter itself. Many say that the text of Hebrews precludes Paul having written it. Ancient tradition variously ascribes it to Barnabas, Paul, or even to Luke or Clement. Modern scholars have suggested names ranging from Apollos to Priscilla. Which of these, if any, wrote Hebrews? Dr. Criswell, best known for his Biblical Controversies series, sets out to answer that very question. He examines all the evidence for the authorship of Hebrews. When was it written? From whence was it written? To whom was it written? What criteria fits the proposed authors? Criswell lays out evidence both for and against each candidate, including charts. A full chapter is dedicated to each of these major candidates including Paul, Barnabas, Luke, Apollos, Priscilla, Aquila, Clement, Silas, and Mark. In addition, there is a chapter devoted to other suggestions including Aristion, Epaphras, Jude, Peter, Philip the Evangelist, Timothy, and Titus. Anonymous also includes an appendix which discusses the place of Hebrews in the Biblical canon.
