... is the idea that this epistle was written in the time between the Resurrection and the Ascension:
+
*How was it delivered? It had to lay around for a couple of decades, until there was a community which could be addressed. Did someone stumble upon a forgotten parchment and thought: "well, that looks like the thing the guys in Jerusalem (or wherever) are looking for, let's send it to them"?
+
*Obviously Jesus Christ could give advice for events which lie a score of years in the future. But would he do so? God respects our free will!
