The [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] is at the highest intellectual level, and yet its authorship is a complete mystery. Not even modern, sophisticated analysis of authorship can suggest a plausible writer for this great work. Whoever wrote this apparently wrote virtually nothing else.

It was written after the [[Passion of Christ]], as made clear by its references in the past tense to Jesus's work.

Did Jesus write this epistle during the 40 days after the [[Resurrection]] and before the [[Ascension]]? Reasons to think so include:

*Jesus occasionally visited the [[Apostles]] during this time, but spent most of this time doing something else - perhaps writing this Epistle?
*the Epistle was directed at the [[Hebrew]] population, which was Jesus's first priority in His ministry.
*Jesus was surely capable of writing a great work, and there is no other known written work by Him.
