Know one really knows. I think many scholars believe that the author has a Hellenistic background. For example, the author contrasts the heavenly and earthly spheres in a way that seems influenced by Platonic thought (see the New Jerome Bible Commentary, page 921 for a brief discussion of this). This apparent Hellenistic influence has led some (including I believe Martin Luther) to suggest that Apollos (see Acts 18:24) was the author.

I think it is a chronological based on a very conservative/traditional view of authorship and dating.
