Christian Texts and History • Re: Making sense of the Pauline Epistles

Oops - I was about to change the dates and forgot when I was writing the Early Marcion theory bit. I'll rectify that now, thanks for pointing it out Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

How do you get a date for Hebrews when you don't know who wrote it? That range of proposed authors covers >100 years.
What's the first mention of Hebrews that's dateable?
Is it even in Marcion's Apostolikon? Or Titus? Epiphanius doesn't think so.

That's not necessarily the date I'd put it at, just the date most often used.

There is no date most often used for a Marcionite View of Hebrews and Titus - they're not in his canon.
Maybe take them out of the "Marcionite View" entirely; Philemon might be questionable as well.

By Marcionite view, I don't mean the view of Marcion himself, I mean the view held (by some) today that Marcion authored many Pauline epistles. Hebrews still, you know, exists, and since there isn't a prevailing theory for its origin outside of the scholarly view, I've defaulted back to those.
