Hebrews
Hebrews presents Christ as the supreme revelation of God—greater than angels, Moses, and the Levitical priesthood. It unveils Jesus as the perfect High Priest who mediates a better covenant, offering once-for-all atonement through His own blood. Drawing heavily from Old Testament imagery and temple worship, Hebrews connects the Mosaic Law to its fulfillment in Christ. Key themes include faith (Hebrews 11), perseverance, and the superiority of the new covenant. Its poetic warnings and doctrinal depth make it central to understanding Christology and biblical theology.
Author: Unknown – Possibly Paul, Apollos, or Barnabas
Though traditionally attributed to Paul, the Greek style and lack of salutation distinguish Hebrews from his other letters. Some scholars propose Apollos, Barnabas, or Luke as alternative authors. Regardless, the early church affirmed its theological authority and spiritual depth. The writer demonstrates rich familiarity with Jewish scripture, temple practices, and the person of Christ.
Time Period:
Biblical: Likely before the destruction of the Second Temple (AD 70), as temple sacrifices are mentioned in the present tense.
Scholarly: Commonly dated between AD 64–69.
