ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews

Alright kiddo, so there is a book in the Bible called the "Epistle to the Hebrews". Some people aren't sure who actually wrote it, and that's what we call the "authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews".

Now, there are a few theories about who might have written it. Some people think it was written by the Apostle Paul, who wrote a lot of other books in the Bible. But other people aren't so sure about that, because the writing style of Hebrews is a bit different from Paul's other writings.

Another theory is that it was written by someone else who was close to Paul, maybe someone who helped him write his other letters. There are a few clues in the text that point to this possibility.

But ultimately, we don't really know for sure who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews. That's okay though, because the important thing is the message it contains, which is about how Jesus Christ is the ultimate High Priest and the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
