Interesting how subtle things can make a difference.



I'm reading the book of Hebrews right now.  It seems to me that I had been taught that Hebrews was written by Paul.  As I was reading it though, something just didn't seem right.  It had a lot of long, run on sentences like Paul's writings, but it just didn't "feel" like Paul's writings.

Does that make sense?

So I decided to look it up.  Turns out that while originally attributed to Paul, since the 3rd century, the consensus seems to be that the author is unknown.  I would have to agree.  While the style is similar to Paul, I just find the subtle differences enough to believe that it was written by someone other than Paul.
