The name of the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews was lost early in its story: Tracking down every clue, and developing a convincing line of reasoning, Ruth Hoppin contends that Priscilla a woman who was a leader in the early church and an associate of Paul is ultimately the only suspect who meets all the qualifications for authorship. Originally published in 1997, Priscilla's Letter: Finding the Author of the Epistle to the Hebrews was secretly taken out of print after only a few months of availability. Circumstances suggest deliberate suppression, due to the influence of religious extremists who regard the concept of female authorship of the epistle intolerable. Recognition of Priscilla's claim will advance the social and religious status of all women. This scholarly examination of a long-debated New Testament mystery arques convincingly that a woman was the author of Hebrews.

Why was the name of the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews lost so early in its history? Tracking down every clue, Ruth Hoppin, an independent researcher in New Testament studies, asserts that Priscilla, a woman leader in the Church, and an associate of Paul, is the only suspect who meets every qualification for authorship. Acclaimed by scholars and laypersons, La Carta de Priscila brings Harnack s hypothesis of 1900 into the 21st century with compelling new evidence. Recognition of Priscilla will increase our understanding of the early Church.
