1 Chronicles 16:27

So it was Luke?

Dr. David Allen of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (SWBTS) in this video argues for Lukan authorship of Hebrews, the same Luke who wrote Luke-Acts. Dr. Allan believes Luke is a Hellenistic Jew who is writing a sermon to a group of priests in Syrian-Antioch who fled Jerusalem because of persecution and are contemplating a return to Judaism and the Temple. He even argues that Theophilus, part of that group of priests, was the former High Priest that Herod Agrippa booted out of office in the 40s. Here is the video to summarize his arguments that I find to be a very strong case though I would need more of the actual evidence than presented to be convinced.
