Talk:Epistle to the Hebrews
From Academic Kids
If Paul was the author of Hebrews, then naturally his style would be such as one learned “at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers” (Acts 22:3). It would not be in the style of a letter to the Gentiles. Therefore, if this Epistle had been in the same style of Paul's other epistles, it would be an argument against his scribeship, and not for it.
It is generally accepted that Peter was sent to the "circumsized", while Paul wes sent to the Gentiles. Yet in one of Peter's Epistles to the diaspora (= the dispersion), he tells the diaspora...the Hebrews...that Paul had also written them a letter (2 Pet. 3:15-16). If Hebrews is not that letter, then what is?
Other?
- The Epistle to the Hebrews is one of the two most consciously "literary" books in the New Testament.
