New Testament Introduction

[Justified]

Are there any modern, conservative introductions to the New Testament that defend more traditional views like, for instance, Pauline authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews?

I have NT survey/intro volumes by Carson & Moo, Drane, Berkhof, and Blomberg...none of which affirm Pauline authorship of Hebrews. Maybe some of our other PB brethren can recommend a more suitable volume. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

That's fine! I find Carson & Moo recommended most and will probably use that the most. However, I just wanted to see if there were more contemporary options.

Don't write off the question just yet; there is a distinct possibility that I've overlooked a volume which is "out there somewhere." I'm much more familiar with the dead writers than with the living ones.

If I may ask, why do you need something that supports Pauline authorship of Hebrews?

I have profited greatly from Donald Guthrie's NT Introduction. It's worth the time.

Well, because most NT introductions do not support it. I want to get the other perspective. In addition to that, I myself lean towards Pauline authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews, though I am not overly dogmatic about it.

Rev. Ruddell, thanks for that recommendation.

RC Sproul defends the Paul's authorship of Hebrews. Don't know if he has a commentary though.

Interesting. I did not know that. Thanks for the information.

The New Testament: Its Background and Message by Thomas Lea and David Alan Black does a great job of laying out the evidence for Pauline authorship. Although the book does not come to a conclusion on the authorship of Hebrews, it does effectively refute the other suggested authors and clearly outline the evidence in support of Paul, including debunking the famous quote by Origen. It would seem that the authors want the reader to make up their own mind, however it seems clear that they lean toward Pauline authorship of Hebrews. http://www.christianbook.com/testam...thomas-lea/9780805426328/pd/26329?event=ESRCG

Does he indeed? That is a great surprise to me, I remember him stating that the Hebrews was included in the canon because of a belief in Pauline authorship - but I always believed he did not affirm this view.
