From an evangelical Christian perspective, the most likely author of the book of Hebrews is traditionally believed to be the Apostle Paul. While the authorship of Hebrews is not explicitly stated within the text itself, many scholars and theologians throughout history have attributed it to Paul based on similarities in language, style, and theology with Paul’s other writings.

The verse Hebrews 9:28 states, “so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.” This verse emphasizes the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and the future return of Christ to bring salvation to believers.

Evangelical Christians believe that the author of Hebrews, whether Paul or another early Christian leader, was guided by the Holy Spirit in writing this inspired text. They view the book of Hebrews as a powerful and impactful presentation of the supremacy of Christ and the sufficiency of his sacrifice for the redemption of mankind.
