Heb 13:22 says: “But I urge you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.” This does not seem Pauline. It sounds more like Peter and Silas in 1 Peter 5:12 “. . . I have written you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God.” For that matter “the great Shepherd of the sheep” in Heb. 13:20 is more analogous to the “Chief Shepherd” of 1 Peter 5:4 than Paul’s only use of the word “shepherd” in Eph. 4:11 describing the gift of pastor teacher.

Does use of the phrase “Grace be with you all” in Hebrews 13:25 argue that Paul wrote Hebrews? Not strongly! This phrase sounds Pauline but it is also of such a nature that any of his close associates could have picked the phrase up from him. This would include Barnabas, Silas, Timothy, Luke or any of his other associates such as Apollos, Priscilla, Epaphras, or Clement. This does not seem particularly persuasive or eliminate any candidate.

                I believe Silas wrote Hebrews. Because I wanted to be perfectly clear, I even gave this website the URL www.SilasWroteHebrews.com.

My book, Who Wrote Hebrews? The Case for Silas and His Message for Today, gives a great deal of information in favor of Silas’s authorship. Many who write on this subject ask who wrote Hebrews and objectively discuss various authors, giving arguments for and against some of the possibilities. Usually, they are informative and don’t take a position themselves. This book is different. It presents the argument in favor of Silas because, after much thought and study, I think I know.

This is not a commentary. It is more of an introduction to the book of Hebrews. It helps the reader understand the setting and why Silas had to write it. Once you understand the author, date, and location of both the writer and recipients, it enlightens the reason the book was written. And, once you understand the setting, you will better understand the implications for people today.
