God, who spoke through prophets in various ways, has now spoken definitively through His Son—the heir of all things, the radiance of divine glory, and exact representation of God's being, who sustains all things by His powerful word. Through a catena of Old Testament quotations, the author demonstrates Christ's superiority to angels, showing that the Son is worshiped by angels, enthroned forever, and invited to sit at God's right hand.

The Only Anonymous Epistle
Hebrews is the only New Testament epistle that doesn't name its author. Scholars have proposed Paul, Barnabas, Apollos, or Priscilla, but the writer remains unknown. The letter masterfully shows Jesus as superior to angels, Moses, and the Old Covenant.
