We appreciate your desire to understand the background of the book of Hebrews and we join with you in seeking wisdom from the Lord as we study His Word.
There are good reasons why many scholars, both in the early church and today, have questioned whether the apostle Paul was the human author of Hebrews, even though the book has historically been associated with him. First, the book itself is anonymous and does not begin with Paul's customary greeting and apostolic claim as we see in Romans 1:1 or Galatians 1:1. Second, the style and Greek of Hebrews is very different from Paul's other letters. It is more polished, formal, and literary, while Paul's style is often more direct and conversational. Third, there are differences in vocabulary and how Old Testament quotations are introduced. Fourth, the writer of Hebrews includes himself among those who received the gospel secondhand, saying that salvation was confirmed to us by those who heard him, Hebrews 2:3, while Paul strongly insisted that he received his gospel directly by revelation from Jesus Christ and not from men, Galatians 1:11-12. Finally, the theological emphasis, while fully consistent with Paul, has a distinct focus on the high priesthood of Christ and the tabernacle in a way that is developed differently than in Paul's other letters.
At the same time we recognize why many in the early church did believe Paul was the author. The theology is thoroughly Pauline, the closing mentions our brother Timothy has been freed, Hebrews 13:23, which fits with Paul's circle, and the author asks for prayer and hopes to be restored to them, Hebrews 13:18-19. In the East the book was accepted as Paul's from an early time, and it was included among his letters. Yet even early church fathers expressed uncertainty. Origen famously said that as for who actually wrote the epistle, God knows.
The reasonable and honest consensus among conservative scholars today is that the human author is unknown, but the divine Author is not. All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, 2 Timothy 3:16, and no prophecy of Scripture ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit, 2 Peter 1:21. God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, Hebrews 1:1-2. That is the central message of Hebrews, the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ as our great High Priest who offered Himself once for all.
Among the most often suggested human authors are Apollos, because of his eloquence and knowledge of the Scriptures, Acts 18:24, Barnabas, Luke, Silas, or even Apollos working with Paul. None can be proven, and we rest in the fact that the Holy Spirit has chosen to leave the human instrument unnamed so that our attention remains on Christ Himself, the author and perfecter of faith, Hebrews 12:2.
We also notice your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to God and understanding of His Word. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. It is by trusting in Jesus Christ alone, His death and resurrection for our sins, that we are reconciled to God and given the Spirit to understand Scripture.
We pray together for you now. Father in heaven, we thank You for Your Word which is living and active, Hebrews 4:12, and for giving us the book of Hebrews to show us the glory of Your Son. We pray You would give our friend wisdom and understanding as he studies, that You would reveal Christ more deeply to him and strengthen his faith in Your inspired Word. Grant him confidence that though men may debate the human pen, Your message is perfect and trustworthy. Draw him ever closer to Jesus, our merciful and faithful high priest, and help him to hold fast to the hope we have in Christ. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.

We're glad you asked this, it's a question many thoughtful readers of Hebrews come to.
There are a few main reasons scholars and pastors have doubted Pauline authorship, even though the book was often linked to Paul in church history. Hebrews itself is anonymous, and Paul typically identifies himself by name at the start of his letters. The Greek style in Hebrews is also quite different, it is more polished and formal with a different vocabulary and sentence structure than Paul's other letters. The way the Old Testament is used and the way the author describes himself as part of a second generation who received the gospel from eyewitnesses also sounds unlike Paul, who stresses his direct calling.
Even in the early church this was noticed. Some affirmed Paul, others hesitated, and Origen famously said only God knows who really wrote it.
That is still where a reasonable, conservative consensus lands today. We don't know for certain. The author was clearly well taught, deeply familiar with the Old Testament and close to the apostolic circle, which is why names like Barnabas, Apollos, Luke, or Priscilla and Aquila are sometimes suggested as possibilities. But none can be proved, and the church has received Hebrews as inspired Scripture regardless of the human author's name.
If you want to dig deeper, a helpful next step is to read the introduction to Hebrews in a solid study Bible and then read Hebrews straight through alongside one of Paul's shorter letters to notice both the shared theology and the distinct voice for yourself. The message itself remains clear and deeply encouraging.
We pray for you as you study. Father, thank You for giving us Your word and for the book of Hebrews that points us to Christ so beautifully. Give our friend wisdom and joy as they seek to understand it, and draw them closer to Jesus as they read. In Jesus' name, amen.

The question concerning the authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews is an ancient one, and it is well that you should ask it with reverence for the Word of God.
From very early times many in the church ascribed this epistle to the Apostle Paul. You will find that preachers in former generations, and indeed in my own pulpit, have often spoken of Paul as the Apostle when quoting Hebrews, for the doctrine is most Pauline and the spirit is altogether apostolic. Yet even in the earliest centuries there were doubts, and for good and weighty reasons godly scholars have questioned whether Paul himself held the pen.
These are the chief reasons why many think Paul did not write it.
First, the style and language. The Greek of Hebrews is more polished and eloquent than the Greek of Paul's acknowledged epistles. Paul writes with a certain abrupt and burning force, while Hebrews moves with a sustained and oratorical dignity. The vocabulary also differs greatly. Many words common in Hebrews are never used by Paul, and many of Paul's most characteristic phrases are absent.
Second, the manner of introduction. Paul is wont to declare his name and apostleship at the outset of his letters, as a seal of his authority. Hebrews begins with no name at all, but with the majesty of the Son of God. This anonymity is unlike Paul.
Third, the method of quoting Scripture and of argument. The writer of Hebrews quotes from the Greek translation of the Old Testament with a formal introduction, and builds his argument concerning the priesthood and the covenant in a way distinct from Paul's method in Romans or Galatians.
Fourth, the writer's own testimony. In Hebrews 2:3 he places himself among those who received the gospel through those who heard the Lord, saying that salvation was confirmed unto us by them that heard him. Paul, on the contrary, is ever jealous to insist that he received his gospel not from men but by direct revelation of Jesus Christ, Galatians 1:12.
For these reasons, even such early witnesses as Origen confessed that who wrote the epistle God only knows, though the thoughts are apostolic.
What then is the reasonable consensus among sober and believing scholars today. It is this, that the author is unknown to us by name, but was plainly a man of God, mighty in the Scriptures, intimately associated with Paul and Timothy, and writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 13:23 mentions Timothy as a brother, which shows the writer stood in the Pauline circle.
Various names have been suggested with some probability, Barnabas, whom Tertullian favored, Apollos, whom Luther proposed because of his eloquence and learning, Luke, Silas, or Priscilla and Aquila. Apollos and Barnabas are often thought the most likely among men, but none can be proved, and the church has wisely rested in leaving the human author anonymous.
This need not trouble your faith. As I have often had to remind the people of God when preaching from Hebrews 11 and Hebrews 4 and Hebrews 6, the epistle carries its own divine authority. Whether the hand was that of Paul or of Apollos, the Holy Spirit is the true Author, and the portrait of Christ as our great High Priest, our rest, and our strong consolation remains the same. The epistle has been received as canonical Scripture by the church universal because its doctrine is sound, its witness to Christ is full, and its power to search and comfort the soul is manifest. Let your confidence rest not in the name subscribed by man, but in the Christ exalted therein, in whom we have rest for our souls and strong consolation to lay hold upon the hope set before us.

Sent you a DM on this... Father let us see it doesn't matter, and that we shouldn't "go beyond Scripture" 1Cor 4:6, since our goal is furthering the administration of the Gospel that is by faith, 1 Tim 1:3-5. Thank You -- let us be careful not to give meet to babes, but milk, 1 tim 2:2. Keep us from evil and devisions, in Jesus' Name

Beloved of All
Your question about the authorship of Hebrews touches on a debate that goes back to the earliest centuries of the church.
For a long time many in the eastern church, including early preachers, accepted Hebrews as Paul's writing and tried to answer objections to that view. At the same time, even in the early church there was uncertainty. The letter itself is anonymous. It does not begin with the kind of greeting Paul uses in his other letters, where he names himself as an apostle. The early teacher Origen famously said that who actually wrote the letter only God knows, even though the thought in it is Pauline.
There are several reasons why many scholars today do not think Paul was the direct author:
1. Style and language. The Greek of Hebrews is very polished and carefully structured, different from Paul's more direct and personal style. Vocabulary studies have long noted this. Words that Paul uses often are rare or absent in Hebrews, and words common in Hebrews are rare in Paul. The way the Old Testament is quoted, almost always from the Greek Septuagint, and the way arguments are built, also feels different.
2. Self description. In Hebrews 2:3 the writer includes himself among those who received the gospel secondhand, through those who heard the Lord, while Paul strongly insists that he received his apostleship and gospel directly from the risen Christ and not from other people.
3. Anonymous and pastoral tone. The author does not claim apostolic authority in the opening, and the closing in Hebrews 13 mentions Timothy and a desire to visit, which shows closeness to Paul's circle but not necessarily Paul himself.
4. Theological emphasis. While the theology is fully consistent with Paul, the central themes and images, such as Christ as high priest after the order of Melchizedek and the extended exposition of the old covenant tabernacle, are developed in a way Paul does not elsewhere.
Because of this, the reasonable consensus among most historians and biblical scholars today, including many conservative scholars, is that the human author is unknown by name, but was someone closely associated with Paul and known to his readers, writing with apostolic approval.
No name is given in the text itself, so any identification is a suggestion rather than certainty. The most commonly suggested candidates are Apollos, because of his Alexandrian background, eloquence and knowledge of the Scriptures as described in Acts, Barnabas as a Levite who would know the priestly system well, Luke as a companion of Paul with similar Greek style, and Priscilla and Aquila as teachers in that circle. Apollos is often mentioned as the leading guess, but all remain guesses.
What the church has consistently affirmed is that regardless of which faithful teacher held the pen, the letter bears apostolic authority and divine inspiration. Its message is what matters most, that Jesus Christ is superior to the prophets, angels, Moses and the old priesthood, and is the final and complete mediator of a better covenant. That is why it was received into the canon and why it continues to build faith today.
