The New Testament letter to the Hebrews contains the chapter known as the “Hall of Faith.”
Hebrews 11 is a sustained discussion of faith, beginning with a description of faith as confidence in hoped-for things and conviction about unseen realities. It then presents examples from Israel’s Scriptures, including Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and Rahab.
The phrase “Hall of Faith” is a modern nickname, not a title found in the original letter. It reflects the chapter’s long list of people remembered for trusting God despite uncertainty, hardship, or delayed fulfilment. Hebrews 12 follows this list by describing believers as surrounded by a “great cloud of witnesses.”
The author of Hebrews is not named in the letter itself. Although Paul was traditionally proposed in some Christian traditions, modern scholarship generally treats the authorship as uncertain.
