old time (Origen was born 185A.D.) have handed it down as Paul's . . . . . But who wrote

the epistle (i.e., the amanuensis) God only knows certainly". There must have been an

ancient and genuine tradition concerning the Pauline authorship of Hebrews for the

Eastern church to give such a united testimony in this way.

From the foregoing Scriptural facts we have brought forward, we unhesitatingly take

the same standpoint as Origen of old, although it may not be the fashion in theological

circles at the moment to ascribe this magnificent and important epistle to Paul, the

Apostle of the Gentiles.

As an appendix, we give a list of word which are only found in Luke's writings and

the epistle to the Hebrews.
