The book of Hebrews is not like the other books in the New Testament. The style is very different.  Authorship has been sometimes attributed to a woman--Priscilla, Aquila's wife.  They were tent makers with Paul, who stayed with them from time to time, and were followers of his teaching.

They also took the great scholar Apollos aside (after hearing him preach) and instructed him in the Good News.  Apollo had been preaching "John's baptism."  He didn't know that Jesus was the Christ and had risen from the dead.  Priscilla was noted in the book of Acts as having invited Apollos home after hearing him preach so that she and Aquila could acquaint Apollos with the facts concerning the events that had happened in Jerusalem concerning Jesus, the Messiah.

As I reviewed Hebrews this week, I was struck that in the eleventh chapter, which is called the "faith" chapter, the writer mentioned two women of great faith.  Sarah--the mother of the Israelite nation, and Rahab--a prostitute who hid two Israeli spies, and helped them escape.  I doubt a male writer would have given Rahab a place in the faith chapter.  Because of that, and a number of other feminine expressions in the book of Hebrews, I have become enamored with the feeling that Priscilla wrote it.

No one knows who wrote it.  The names mentioned are Paul--but it sounds nothing at all like the other letters Paul wrote; Apollos--it doesn't have the type of rhetoric that he would have written;  Barnabas--perhaps.  He had a kind and forgiving spirit.   But actually, it reads like women think.

And at the end, the writer mentions that Timothy has been released from prison and is coming to see the readers.  And it says that the writer is in Italy.  The book of Acts puts Aquila and Priscilla in Rome at that time.  So:  did she write it?  Who knows.  But I like the idea presented by scholars who attribute it to her.  I like the idea that God would give us a part of His Word through the letter of a woman.  Read the  'Factual Fiction' book "A Conspiracy of Breath" by Latayne Scott.  It was really good; I just finished it.  A real life augmented story of Paul, Timothy, Aquila and Priscilla.

But then, being a woman, I might be biased since Jesus said there would be neither male nor female from His time forward.  Women think different than men do as a rule.  And they express themselves differently.  The Bible is for all of us.  So...the idea of a woman writer intrigues me.
