Best Answer

Thirteen have been attributed to Paul, although some are clearly not genuine, having been written by other Christians after his death. Of the thirteen Pauline epistles, five, and possibly seven are regarded as having been written by the Apostle Paul. These are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians.

A majority of biblical scholars say that 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus were not written by Paul. Based on a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine. There is also some further evidence that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians may not have been written by Paul, but this is not a majority view.

Which epistles were written while Paul was in prison?

Colossians, Philemon, Ephesians, and Philippians were written while Paul was imprisoned.


Writers of the epistles?

Paul wrote most of the epistles in the Bible. Others were written by James, John, Jude and Peter.


What were the six early epistles written by Paul?

Most scholars say there were actually seven epistles written by Paul: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. However a computer analysis by A Q Morton suggests that 1 Thessalonians and Philippians do not share the same dictation or writing style as the others and may not be genuine, leaving five epistles actually written by the apostle Paul. The remaining epistles traditionally ascribed to Paul are now sometimes referred to as pseudo-Pauline epistles.


When did Paul write some of his letters?

Based on events portrayed in Acts of the Apostles, Paul's epistles are traditionally thought to have been written between 48 and 62 CE. However, the text of Paul's own epistles suggests that some of his epistles might have been written somewhat earlier - between 44 and 48 CE.


Why were Paul's epistles named Pauline Epistles?

AnswersIn general terms, Paul's epistles are known as Pauline epistles to distinguish them from the epistles known as the Epistles of James, John, Jude and Peter. In more specific usage, the epistles believed to really have been written by Paul (1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon and Romans) are known as Pauline Epistles to distinguish them from those known as pseudo-Pauline epistles (2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus ).
