What evidence is there to suggest why Hebrews was ever considered to have
been written by Paul? Given the differences between Hebrews and the other
Paulines, why would anyone think that Paul wrote it? Is it possible that it
was a simple mistake - an accident, in fact? Suppose for a minute that the
writer of P46 was simply putting together a collection of letters written to
churches, or even was simply putting together a collection of the letters in
his possession at the time. Could later readers just have *assumed* that it
must have been a collection of letters purely from Paul? What evidence is
there for the Hebrews/Paul association having been made independently of
P46?
