And nobody said that because we don't know the author that it's content becomes "less profound". I also don't think there is a risk of anyone sky-diving off of the Empire State Building after reading this book or exploring this question. :) Well Brad, I don’t believe there is anything wrong with exploring these mysteries but I certainly want to avoid “anti-intellectualism”.

I'd love to know. Truly. But I find it to fit snugly with all the other scripture, so I don't need to know. It seems a western church thing to want to put it all neatly in a box. Mysteries are great. ESPECIALLY when you know the mystery to be God's mystery... it then builds faith. It's likely to be someone we don't know of. There were how many disciples that were not apostles that traveled with Jesus? It could have been any of them. I heard a decent argument once for Barnabus. I don't know. And I don't dig into research on it. here's why.... By reading a book, like you have mentioned I see that person's arguments. But I don't know enough of the foundation to really question or cross examine his conclusions. Then I'm hit with my first view on the question to be from a bias source. And it affects how I look at it going forward. I'm not picking at you for looking into it, nor ANYONE for that matter? I just don't know why it matters? If we read a book about gravity, and didn't know who wrote it, but it panned out to be proven as trustworthy, why would I step off the empire state building? Just because I don't know the author doesn't make it less profound! :P Well, other than a curiousity… who cares? I’d love to know. Truly.

Who knows, maybe Hebrews was Paul's last letter and just before writing it he took a Greek grammar class ;) I know that Calvin believed it to be Paul.

How much would it mess with people if a woman wrote a book of the Bible? Especially after taking quite a bit of Greek, it's hard to believe Paul is behind it. It's nothing like the way he writes, you can just feel it. That said, there are certainly Pauline themes so someone who knew Paul (like Luke or Apollos) makes sense. But, in the end it doesn't really matter too much. It's fascinating, and helps get a better idea of the background, but Hebrews in canonical either way so how much does it really change especially when no answer is for sure?
