Over the last few centuries the authorship of the book of Hebrews
has been a contentious topic, but lately a strong scholarly
consensus has emerged that Paul was not the author. There is no
similar consensus about who did author the book; the consensus is
entirely negative. Nonetheless, it takes some courage for a scholar
to risk his reputation by challenging a so thoroughly assured
conclusion of many scholars. Yet this is precisely what Dr. David
Alan Black has done. In this book he adapts some of his previous
scholarly work for a broader audience, demonstrating both how one
goes about determining the authorship of an ancient work, and also
how one challenges a scholarly consensus. And that is also why we
have chosen this volume as the inaugural volume of our
Participatory Study Series - Topic Line Drives. Millions of
churchgoers look to the introductions to various books in their
study Bibles to answer questions of date, authorship, and
background. But only those who read more than one introduction will
be fully aware of the disagreements among scholars about those
conclusions. How is it that scholars make a determination about
authorship? This book is for those who want to dig deeper than the
notes in a study Bible and who want to understand what stands
behind those conclusions. Dr. Black has paid his dues in the
practice of scholarship, and here he demonstrates how one
challenges such a consensus. At the same time he will guide the
reader through the various factors that influence a decision about
the authorship of a book. We hope this book will give new life to
your Bible study and will challenge you to study further, not just
about this subject, but about many others.
