Excerpt from Handbooks for Bible Classes: And Private Students The Epistle is written in the name of the Apostle Paul, in the form in which letters were usually composed in ancient times, beginning with a sentence in which the author gave his name in a greeting, or expression of good wishes to those to whom he was sending it. The form of the greeting, too, is that which Paul uses in his admittedly genuine epistles and it is a characteristic one, not a mere standing form, nor even the same as in other New Testament epistles. These facts afford a strong presumption that it is really the work of the apostle. This is the most Simple and natural explanation: if it is not true, it is hard to avoid the conclusion, that there has been a deliberate attempt to pass off as Paul's a writing not really his, and the high moral tone of the epistle is against this.
