I suppose you read the same commentary that I did (from Bible tracks) that talked about the authorship of Hebrews. I don't know enough bible scholarship to make a judgement for myself, but I liked the way that the author of Bibletracks puts it-- that while many debate it because all of Paul's letters have a more personal front end speaking directly to the people with comments on what's going on with them and with him, none of that shows up here. And While all the other letters are written more personally, this one is more formal sounding. I also like how that commentator from bible tracks points out that since he is writing to the Hebrews, the style would be intentionally more formal, and there would be less personal tone.
I gather from trusted pastors and commentaries on each topic, and personal reflections are mixed in. These notes are for my use only, so they are not polished and have little or no proofing. Please use the information only if you are aware that this is not a professional website. There is no guarantee the correctness of the statements, spelling, or grammar.
