The arguments for Pauline authorship were based around Paul's known affinity with the Hebrew people, Peter's reference to Paul's writing to the Hebrews, the reference to 'our brother Timothy' (similar to Paul's references to him elsewhere), and the general similarities to Paul's other letters.
The thirteen epistles that are almost certainly written by Paul, in order, are: Epistle to the Romans First Epistle to the Corinthians Second Epistle to the Corinthians Epistle to the Galatians Epistle to the Ephesians Epistle to the Philippians Epistle to the Colossians First Epistle to the Thessalonians Second Epistle to the Thessalonians First Epistle to Timothy Second Epistle to Timothy Epistle to Titus Epistle to Philemon although some theologians doubt that some letters (eg Ephesians) are written by him as the style of writing is different from the others. The fourteenth letter, the Epistle to the Hebrews - is unlikely to have been written by Paul. He doesn't claim to have written it nor is the style of writing his. Pauline authorship is rejected by modern scholarship and even in the early church its authorship was debated.

It means like an epistle... and an epistle is a letter, so something "epistolary" would be something like a letter. If you wrote a story in the form of a letter or a series of letters from some main characters, for instance, that would be an epistolary story.

Philippians is an epistle, that is, a letter, written by Paul to the church at Philippi about 62 AD.
Although called (in full) the "Epistle to the Hebrews", Hebrews has none of the characteristics of a letter, other than some travel plans and the final verses which might have been added in later times. If, as it seems, Hebrews was never intended as a letter, it was very likely written as a sermon. Thus, it can be called a sermonic epistle.
The Epistle to the Hebrews is not the same as the Hebrew scriptures. The Hebrew scriptures, known to Christians as the Old Testament, are the holy books of Judaism, also accepted as sacred by the Christian Churches. The Epistle to the Hebrews, strictly speaking not a letter, but rather an encyclical or even a sermon, is a purely Christian book thought to have been addressed to a group of Christian Jews.
Paul is the author of the book of epistles. Epistle means in letter form. The word "epistle" simply means "letter." There is no "Book Epistle" or "book of epistles." Though many modern scholars will argue over their authorship, Paul is generally accepted as the writer of all the New Testament letters, or epistles, from Romans through Philemon. The author of Hebrews is uncertain, and the "general epistles" following Hebrews were written by James, Peter, John and Jude. In a way, Revelation can also be thought of as an epistle since it was meant to be distributed and read throughout the churches. Its author was the apostle John.
'Letter' and 'epistle' have the same meaning.
