The Bible\u2019s Greatest Cold Case","description":"Who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews? The author never identifies himself\u2014yet the letter leaves behind a compelling trail of internal clues, manuscript evidence, and early-church testimony.  \ud83d\udcdc In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast, J. Warner Wallace investigates one of the New Testament\u2019s greatest authorship mysteries. Was Hebrews written by Paul? Did Luke translate or compose the letter? Is Barnabas the strongest independent candidate? What roles might Clement of Rome or Silas have played? We examine the evidence found inside Hebrews itself: its anonymous opening, highly refined Greek, connection to Timothy, pre-AD 70 temple references, and its description as a \u201cword of exhortation.\u201d We then follow the historical chain of custody through Papyrus   , Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Tertullian, Eusebius, Jerome, and Augustine. The case has no signed confession\u2014but the evidence points toward the apostolic circle and a letter shaped by Pauline theology, possibly written in the extraordinary Greek of a trusted coworker.  \ud83d\udd0d\u271d\ufe0f If this episode helped you think more clearly about the Bible and the case for Christianity, please follow\/subscribe and leave a rating and review.
