Since the Hebrews class is getting ready for mid-term exams, I have updated all the video lectures I've done on Hebrews thus far, through Hebrews 7. They're not high quality, but they're free :-) The sound is much better from Hebrews 4:14 on (no connection to the clarity of the theology).

Ken,
I've finally connected to your Hebrews class! I've seen the many posts about getting to the class, but there's always a dreaded username/password needing to be entered. That has always been the riddle for me ... BUT, I connected through your personal webpage and it's really BRILLIANT! Really! Kudos to you! You've entered into the information age of education! Now, if you can just get the rest of the crew on board with this same concept, I think you'll really have something! Wish you well! Keep up the wonderful work you're doing! It's truly inspiring! Keep leading the way for us "future" people who will try to take your job when you're older :), ha!
Could you give me an example of one of the "lesser" pastoral theologians who still think that Paul is the author of Hebrews? I enjoy your lectures.
I'm sure there are some well known preachers who speak of Paul as author, although I can't name any off hand. I think people like Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, I assume John Piper talk of the "author of Hebrews."
I do think that J. Vernon McGee thought Paul was the author. I remember hearing a recording of him saying that Paul wouldn't have stopped at 13, because it's an unlucky number. But surely he wasn't serious!
Can you name some?
P.S. I tried not to use language of greater or lesser in the lecture. I tried to find a more neutral way to say that not a single individual has argued for Pauline authorship of Hebrews in a scholarly forum in either book or article for well over fifty years. Certainly there have been many pastoral books that proceed on this assumption.
I think I could argue for Pauline authorship of it in a scholarly way, but I don't perceive any need to.
I think some of the Dispensationalist preachers or theologians may believe in Paul's authorship of Hebrews. I am pretty sure J. Vernon did not. But, John Wesley thought Paul was the author.
