Years ago I studied this topic about the authorship. All the best scholars said only Paul could write such a monumental treatise. All the best scholars concluded that, of all the N.T. writers, only Luke's Greek writing skills could match the vocabulary and grammatical writing skills. The scholars also said Hebrews was probably written while Paul was under house arrest and "only Luke was with him." Putting the puzzle pieces together, the best solution seemed that Paul authored the draft, and Luke wrote the final epistle. Since Paul was forsaken by nearly all, and so hated by the Jews, the Spirit directed the writer to plead anonymity.
