Take a guess. Yours will be as good as anyone else's.

To answer you question about JSTOR, at my university all students have access to it. I have found it useful when I need to get a copy of an article quickly and don't mind if the material is a bit dated. I have access to just about any journal database there is. If you need articles from JSTOR or anywhere else, let me know. I would be happy to send them to you by e-mail.

Here's something from Kenneth Hagen, The Harvard Theological Review, Vol. 63, No. 1. (Jan., 1970). In a footnote he says:
Quote:
Prior to ERASMUS, Pauline authorship of Hebrews was generally accepted, though discussion continued on the question of the modus scribendi and the stilus. ERASMUS,in 1516, is probably the first to express serious doubt as to Pauline authorship. (Novum instrumentum cum Annotationibus, 585, 586, 590.) In his 1517-18 Lectures on Hebrews Luther does not categorically accept Pauline authorship but he does not clearly reject it until 1522.
Presumably, this is when Luther adopted his idea that Apollo was the author or Hebrews. Good ole Erasmus, he was always stirring things up.

Default Luckenbill - Moabite stone precludes 'yahweh' pronunciation

Hi Arricchio,

Here is one you could look up and it would be greatly appreciated. Simply one argument needed in more depth than I get from the google cache description would be helpful. Probably a couple of sentences.

http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=106...3E2.0.CO%3B2-R
The Pronunciation of the Name of the God of Israel - D. D. Luckenbill (1924)
The American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literatures

"the writing (Hebrew) found in the Moabite stone, so far from favoring a
pronunciation "Yahweh," seems definitely to preclude it. "


I would be interested in knowing how Luckenbill comes to this conclusion,
which agrees with my understanding of 'yahweh' being a faulty pronunciation attempt.

Some of the later articles on related topics may have commented on
Luckenbill. These at least reference him and the Moabite Stone somewhere.

http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=002...3E2.0.CO%3B2-L
Further Observations on the Name Yahweh and Its Modifications in Proper Names - W. F. Albright - JBL Vol. 44, No. 1/2 (1925)

http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=106...3E2.0.CO%3B2-6
Method in the Study of the Tetragrammaton - Leroy Waterman
The American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literatures, Vol. 43, No. 1 (Oct., 1926)

Any help with the Luckenbill view (and any comments thereon) appreciated.

Shalom,
Steven Avery

I think it should be pointed out that Eusebius is here quoting Origen. The full quote is available on my Hebrews page. Eusebius himself seems to have favored the view that Paul wrote the epistle in Hebrew and Clement translated it.

Ben.

I have generally thought that Heb. 2:3 would disqualify Paul:
Heb 2:3
3 how can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? It was declared at first through the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him,
NRSV

It is hard for me to believe that Paul would forego mention of his own direct contact with Jesus and make such a statement. Would appreciate comments if you disagree.

Perhaps it is best simply to state that the book's author is anonymous.

Thanks,

It depends on the university. Some have it and some don't. I suspect most of them do, but I was enrolled for a while at one that didn't.
