The writers of all the New Testament books (with the possible exception of Hebrews) are known and most are Jewish.
Only Luke is thought to not be Jewish, partly based on Colossians 4:10-14 where he is not included in the list of those of the circumcision even though with the others.

∙ 8y agoAt least some of the New Testament authors were not Jews. The fact that the entire New Testament was written in Greek, not Aramaic, indicates that it was largely written for non-Jews, in most cases by non-Jews. First of all, the gospels were actually written anonymously, so we do not know the background of their real authors, in spite of the second-century attributions to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Paul is generally believed to have been a Jew, and may have been the only Jewish author in the entire New Testament.. The epistles attributed to James, John, Jude and Peter are now known to have been written by anonymous authors in the names of the disciples, but we do not know the backgrounds of those authors.
