<h2>Who Wrote The Epistle to the Hebrews?</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">"The nearest approach to a ‘tradition’ is one quoted by Tertullian as current in North Africa at the close of the 2nd century<em><strong> ascribing the epistle to Barnabas</strong></em>." (<a href="http://www.renaissance.com.pk/noderef972.html">New Commentary on Holy Scriptures</a>.) See Tertullian, De Pudicitia, 20.</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">Tertullian writes: "Hebrews,<em> a work of Barnabas</em>...." See Tertullian, <em>De Pudicitia</em> (Latin & French translation by A.Picard)(1906 edition) at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=1fKmkDvdIAcC&dq=tertullian%2C%20de%20pudicitia&pg=PA184#v=onepage&q=barnabas&f=false">184</a> (Latin) and <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=1fKmkDvdIAcC&dq=tertullian%2C%20de%20pudicitia&pg=PA185#v=onepage&q=barnabas&f=false">185</a> (French)</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">Tertullian does so again in <span style="text-decoration: underline;">On Modesty</span> <a href="http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf04.iii.viii.xx.html">XX</a> (ca. 207 AD):</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">For there is extant withal an<strong> Epistle to the Hebrews under the name of Barnabas</strong>—a man sufficiently accredited by God, as being one whom Paul has stationed next to himself in the uninterrupted observance of abstinence...." </span></span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">Tertullian is clearly referencing our Epistle to the Hebrews 6:1, 4-6 in the NT for he next quotes:</span></span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">Warning, accordingly, the disciples to omit all first principles, and strive rather after perfection, and not lay again the foundations of repentance from the works of the dead, he says: “For impossible it is that they who have once been illuminated, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and <em><strong>have participated in the Holy Spirit</strong></em>, and have tasted the word of God and found it sweet, when they shall—their age already setting—have fallen away, should be again recalled unto repentance, crucifying again for themselves the Son of God, and dishonouring Him.”</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">More proof is as follows. Because this epistle to the Hebrews has the most excellent Greek in the NT, and Barnabas was known to have such erudition (being from Cyprus which was renown for excellence in writing Greek)(Barclay:<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=LcXwedfaPhUC&lpg=PA8&ots=n_4gcQjaGD&dq=tertullian%20says%20barnabas%20wrote%20hebrews&pg=PA8#v=onepage&q&f=false">8</a>), many Christian authorities support Barnabas as the author. These include:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">i) A.M. Stibbs, V. Principal, <em>The New Bible Commentary</em> (Oak Hill Theological College, London) at 1088</span></p>
|
|||

<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">ii) Dr. Allan J. McNicol, Prof. of N.T., <em>Harper’s Bible Dictionary</em> (Bangalore, Inst. for Christian Studies, Austin, Texas, 1994) at 94.</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">iii) Myles M. Bourke, <em>The New Jerome Biblical Commentary</em> (Bangalore, 1994) at 920.</span></p>
|

|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">iv) Dr. Robert W. Ross, Dept. of History, N. W. College, Minneapolis, Minn., <em>The Wycliffe’s Bible Commentary</em> (1987) at 1403 f.</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">v) William Smith, <em>A Dictionary of the Bible</em> (Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1988) at 238.</span></p>

|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">Bruce says Tertullian does not attribute the epistle to Barnabas as if he were merely expressing opinion, but rather as if it were a commonly held ascription among those of his circle. Thus, Tertullian attributes it to Barnabas as a matter of fact.</span></p>

<h2><strong>Different Teachings than Paul</strong></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">However, in the later 200s, Origen said no one knows who wrote Hebrews. Then even later, in the 300s, many began saying Paul wrote it. Many today say this is unlikely because of the following differences in soteriology and Christology:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 12pt;">This study of authorship gives us some idea of what caused Barnabas and Paul to split. Barnabas was pro-Israel, but Paul was perceived as anti-Israel.</span></p>
