The Book of Hebrews was written by an unknown author.
The fourteenth of the Epistles, and the nineteenth book in the New Testament, is entitled Hebrews. It was written in approximately 68 AD, but by whom, we do not know. Several possible authors have been credited with the work, but the style of writing is unlike any other books in the Bible, and so the author remains unknown.
The letter is addressed to Jewish Christians, many of whom found themselves persecuted by their fellow Jews. The writer of Hebrews fears that Jewish Christians are in danger of slipping back into the Jewish faith because of this persecution. To affirm them in their new found Christian faith, the author shows them Christ's superiority over all Old Testament laws and practices. He urges the Christians to remain true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, their saviour.
Hebrews 4:12-13
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do"
