Best Answer

The "pastorals" refers to three epistles attributed to St. Paul but which appear to have been written in the second century CE, because they are concerned with pastoral issues confronting the Church at that time. The pastorals are 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus.

When was the Bible finished?

The last Book of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, was the Book of Daniel. This was written in the second century BCE.The Catholic Bible has two deuterocanonical Books in the Old Testament, I Maccabees and II Macabees, that were probably written a little later.Subject to later canonisation, the Christian Bible was completed when the Books of the New Testament were completed. According to biblical scholars, Acts was a Book of the second century, as were the Pastorals: 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. The Pastorals were written by an anonymous author in the name of St Paul, but refer to the second century Church. Thus, the Christian Bible was completed in the second century CE.

Can you categorize the books of Paul?

There is a core of epistles attributed to Paul which we can call "undisputed"; Romans,1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon. These seven epistles historically have been almost universally recognized as Paul's work. The rest, which we can call "disputed", are Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, and the Pastorals (1-2 Timothy and Titus).


Why did Paul suffer not a women to teach in the epistles to Timothy?

Scholars are almost unanimous that Paul did not write 1 Timothy or 2 Timothy . These epistles are called the 'Pastorals' because they were written to deal with pastoral issues that had arisen in the second century, including the roles of bishops and of women in the church. Paul himself had seen a subordinate role for women, and these epistles were strengthening and formalising that view.
