I think the Book of Hebrews is a sermon of Paul's transcribed by Luke and sent to Jewish believers in general.
How do you reconcile Pauline authorship with this verse, "It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard?" Paul was pretty adamant he didn't receive his knowledge from man but directly from Christ, as we see in Galatians 1:12, "For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ." I personally believe it was Apollos but ultimately the Holy Spirit.I think the Book of Hebrews is a sermon of Paul's transcribed by Luke and sent to Jewish believers in general.
The Greek is more advanced than what is found in Luke's writings. Also, see my proposed question in my previous response.This is how I lean, as well.
I fixed the post and added an ending to forgive any errors as I adjust to my new phone.Then why did you link them?
Palestine didn't exist at the time the Epistle to the Hebrews was written.
I voted other because I think it was likely written to Jewish believers in Judea (possibly to those abroad). Palestine didn't exist at the time the Epistle to the Hebrews was written.
Does this poll assume that the “Epistle” to the Hebrews is in fact an “epistle,” and not, as some have posited, a transcribed sermon?

Question: Why should the author have written in Greek if he was addressing principally Hebrew- or Aramaic-speaking readers?
Could you give some reasons for that view?

I would like to clarify. I don’t necessarily believe it was transcribed by Luke (although Luke’s Greek was rather advanced in comparison to the rest of the NT). I just meant that I lean toward Hebrews being a transcribed sermon. Who preached and who transcribed, just like the issue of authorship in general, is a mystery to everyone, a mystery that will probably never be resolved. Who knows?

Anywho, I have a deep fondness of Hebrews. It is my favorite portion of Scriptures. I, along with many commentators, believe it was a sermon or an exhortation. I believe it was written to Jewish Christians in Rome. There is evidence that rules out Jewish Christians in Palestine. I can't recommend Richard D. Phillips' sermons on Hebrews enough. He does a great job with the question this thread raises in the first sermon. Please forgive any typos. I just got a new phone and struggling with the keyboard.

Because Jewish Christians living outside Palestine would, of necessity, have known Greek (and, possibly, Latin, as well) in order to communicate with the wider world they were living in. Greek was the common language of the Mediterranean world.
Palestine as a region, not a political entity.
Still didn't exist, unless you believe the Epistle was written after 135 AD.

Written to Jewish believers through out the empire. I believe it was written by Appollos, too. I have a whole slew of reasons and one of which is listed above.
