I view Hebrews as a thesis of sorts. It is a high and grand treatise of the supremacy of Christ over the Law. Given Paul's formal education and the fact that he was a Pharisee (Phil. 3:5), the knowledge of Law that is contained in Hebrews makes an argument for Pauline authorship more than plausible.  |
