Eyewitness Testimony in the New Testament
Hebrews

We do not know who wrote the New Testament letter commonly called Hebrews. Suggestions as to its date vary from the sixties to the eighties. Clement of Rome, in his Epistle to the Corinthian Church written in AD 96, makes use of it. Though not an eyewitness, the author claims that the message proclaimed by Jesus "was confirmed to us by those who heard him." (Hebrews 2:3).

Other Writers of New Testament Letters

There is not space here to go into questions raised by scholars about the authorship of the letters ascribed to Peter, James and Jude. Peter, the apostle of Jesus, was universally accepted by the early church as the author of 1 Peter. It is probable that James, the brother of Jesus (born to Mary after Jesus), who became the leader of the church in Jerusalem till his martyrdom about AD 61, was the author of the letter that bears his name. Many scholars accept that Jude was also a brother of Jesus, as Clement of Alexandria stated, and which he himself appears to claim in recording that he was a brother of James. If these views are correct, then we could not get closer to Jesus himself.
