The Apostolic Liturgy and the Epistle to the Hebrews: Being a Commentary on the Epistle in Its Relation to the Holy Eucharist, with Appendices on the Liturgy of the Primitive Church (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Apostolic Liturgy and the Epistle to the Hebrews: Being a Commentary on the Epistle in Its Relation to the Holy Eucharist, With Appendices on the Liturgy of the Primitive Church

Epistle lies in the fact that no decided tradition ofothers. This argument, however, is not a weighty one. For when every other Epistle of S. Paul bears his name, it was but natural to doubt the authenticity of one in which this was absent, without enquiring whether its absence could be reasonably explained. And in this case there is, as we have seen, every reason for the omission; while at the same time the final verses imply that at least those persons to whom the letter was primarily sent were fully aware of its authorship.
