How do we know that the Epistle was written by Paul?

Answered in 1 source

Historically, early Christians and the apostle Peter affirm that the Epistle to the Hebrews was penned by Paul.

The authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews is traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul, with indications found in the context of early Christian writings. Notably, in 2 Peter 3:15, Peter references Paul as his beloved brother who has written to them, which lends credence to the claim that the teaching in Hebrews is aligned with Paul’s theological insights. While the greeting or salutation typical of Paul’s other letters is absent, the content and doctrinal depth strongly reflect his apostolic authority and experience. This understanding is bolstered by historical affirmations from early church leaders.
