Hi Dr Michael J. Kruger
Thank for all your helpful work on the canon. They have been very helpful in strengthening my faith in the canon. I have related questions that I was hoping you could answer 1) how would you define the attribute of apostolicity exactly 2) how would you explain how Luke (not an apostle) and the author of Hebrews (unknown author) meet this attribute? Would you say they must have been written and/or authorised by an apostle to be inspired? Would you say in the case of hebrews, that the author was a chosen agent of God even if not an apostle and even if the epistle was not authorised by an apostle?
