What is the name of the book of the New Testament written in the form of a letter from an apostle?
The New Testament is divided into: the four Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles or Letters, and the Revelation or Apocalypse. The letters are known by their Greek name of 'epistoli' or epistle in English, which simply means 'letter.' For example, the Epistle (or Letter) of St Paul to the Colossians. The New Testament contains 21 letters or epistles. It is generally accepted by most Christians that St Paul is the author of most, if not all of these epistles. The Epistles are: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude.

Why was 2 thessalonians written?
An important reason for First Thessalonians appears to be that the Thessalonians had begun to fear that only those Christians who were still alive when Christ came to earth would participate in the parousia. Bart D. Ehrman (Forged) explains that Paul wrote to the Christians in Thessalonica because some of them had become disturbed over the death of a number of their fellow believers. When he converted these people, Paul had taught them that the end of the age was imminent and that they were to enter the kingdom when Jesus returned, but members of the congregation had died before it happened. Paul wrote to assure the survivors that even those who have died will be brought into the kingdom. In fact, when Jesus returns in glory on the clouds of heaven, "the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air" (4:17).A majority of biblical scholars believe that Paul was not really the author of 2 Thessalonians, but that it was written some time after his death. In this case, Second Thessalonians was not necessarily written for the Thessalonians, but for Christian communities where the first letter was being read. As Jesus had not yet returned and it had become clear that the return was not imminent, it became necessary to correct the record. Ehrman says the author of 2 Thessalonians argues that the end is not coming right away, and because certain things have to happen first, they will know when Jesus is coming. The clue to this epistle is how often Paul speaks of false letters being written in his name, and how he insists that everyone must obey his word as expressed in this letter. Even his earlier letter, 1 Thessalonians, is not authoritative enough nor, apparently, his teachings when he had been in Thessalonica or even the teachings of his emissary, Timothy. He protests too much, and if the author acknowledges that false letters were being written in Paul’s name, it may well be that this is one of those false letters.For more information, please visit:http://christianity.answers.com/bible/pauls-first-epistle-to-the-thessalonians-explainedhttp://christianity.answers.com/bible/pauls-second-epistle-to-the-thessalonians-explained
