Hebrews

 

         "The Letter to the Hebrews forcefully argues that through Christ, faithful Christians have direct access to God. The text urges the faithful, confident of their covenant relationship with God, to follow Christ's example and live as he did, faithful, hopeful, loving and patient in the face of opposition. Although Hebrews is occasionally attributed to Paul, even early Christian scholars such as Origen (185-254 C.E.) recognized that its style is quite different from that of Paul's letters. ... The work thus remains anonymous. ...the text was probably composed after 60 C.E. and before 95 C.E...." [from the introduction to Hebrews in The HarperCollins Study Bible (1993), p. 2250.
