ELWELL, WALTER AND YARBROUGH, ROBERT W., Third Edition (2013) Encountering The New Testament, Grand Rapids, Baker Academic.
Hebrews, although with no definitive, documented author, is considered part of the New Testament canon. It is universally accepted within orthodox Christianity, as being produced from the group of New Testament era disciples of Jesus Christ, Apostles and scribes.
Further, it receives intellectual support from early Church Fathers.

| Encountering page 338: It is good to read scholarship that states the truth that Scripture, at times, makes generalizations. It is generally true is regard to the rich/wealthy, but not always. This may smack against some theologies of fundamentalism, but this is important to realize for the sake of avoiding theological error. At times, some within the Church fail to intellectually embrace the truth that although all Scripture is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3), and is inerrant and infallible in the original documents, some contexts are presenting what is generally true. In contrast, as examples, the eternal, infinite nature of God, God's triune nature, and God's plans of salvation for those in Christ, through the applied atoning and resurrection work of Jesus Christ, are universally true doctrines. Biblical context determines general truths from universal truths. |
