Mike addresses the canonicity of Hebrews despite unknown authorship, arguing that inspiration does not require apostolic pen but apostolic teaching, and that the New Testament canon formed organically as first-century texts with apostolic content were recognized by the early church.

Mike references his Evidence for the Bible video series for detailed treatment. He argues Hebrews has apostolic teaching even if the author is unknown (Paul, Apollos, Barnabas, or another). He distinguishes between who physically penned a text and whether God inspired it; God could inspire even an amanuensis. He argues the canon formed organically: no weird Gnostic Gospels made it in, while texts with apostolic content and connection naturally rose to acceptance. He says you either believe God was working in that process or you do not.
