The popular quiz show “Jeopardy!” has courted controversy twice this week — this time sparking a debate of Biblical proportions.
In the final round of Wednesday’s “Tournament of Champions” episode, contestants Amy Schneider, Andrew He and Sam Buttrey had to solve the following clue: “Paul’s letter to them is the New Testament epistle with the most Old Testament quotations.”
Schneider answered, “Who are the Hebrews,” which host Ken Jennings said was correct. Buttrey offered, “Who are the Romans,” a response deemed incorrect, prompting outrage from home viewers who felt that that was the best answer.

My reply,Who are the Carthoginians.
Who are the two Corinthians?
The writer of Hebrews is not known.
The authorship of Hebrews is debated among NT scholars. Most agree it is Paul based upon the style of writing, but admit there is no hard proof.
Exactly. Jeopardy is wrong.
But, what can one expect from a once great show that went into the Drag Queen Story Hour toilet.
While I personally believe Paul dictated Hebrews, it is so well contested that you can’t accord it as given for Jeopardy.
I won’t watch Jeopardy until that sicko man, Amy Schneider, gets the hell off of there. You think he’d have some shame for prancing around in women’s clothes. Absolutely disgusting/
Most Christians know Paul penned Hebrews.. No other New Testament writer had the education Paul did. Paul was predestined to write the majority of the so called New Testament.
Apollos always seemed a better candidate to me. Also explains why the salutation came to be omitted.
I meant Carthaginians !
A Carthoginian, a Corinthian, and a Hebrew walk into a bar . . .
Hebrews has the most OT verses quoted in it, but the controversy is not over the number of verses, but whether or not Paul wrote Hebrews.
Most Biblical scholars believe that he did not.
Interesting.
Did Paul write just one letter to a group outside of the Corinthians?
Look what they’ve done to my car!
That commercial is seared in my mind.
“The price is wrong Bob” happy.
You are wrong there. I believe Paul dictated the Sermon of Hebrews. But there is a strong argument he did not and that another , more Greek oriented Christian, like Apollos, was the author. I don’t care, it has been accepted as cannon from early in the first century, along with the Pauline epistles, and the Holy Spirit has affirmed it.
