Footnote
It is not known which of the early believers physically wrote the letter to the Hebrews, a literary Greek masterpiece; various conjectures include Paul, Apollos, Barnabas, Philip, and even Priscilla. However, the Holy Ghost was undoubtedly the true author of this wonderful letter, specifically targeted to strengthen the Jewish believers in Jesus. In the letter we see Christ and His ministry elevated, exalted, and extolled as higher than that of the angels, Moses, Joshua, past high Priests, and the Levitical priesthood. Christ's new covenant is also shown to be better than the old, and exhortation is given on the importance of faith.
