A:No, although two epistles were written in his name and attributed to him: 1 Peter and 2 Peter. Scholars say these were really written during the first half of the second century, with 2 Peter actually incorporating almost all of the Epistle of Jude, which inadvertently self-identifies as a second-century epistle.

How many Gospels did Peter write?

According to Acts 4:13, both Peter and his companion John were agrammatoi, a Greek word that literally means ‘unlettered’ or illiterate, meaning Peter could not have written any gospels or epistles. One of the reasons once put forward for Mark as the author of the gospel that now bears his name, was that Peter needed him to write down is recollections about Jesus. However, Bart D. Ehrman (Forged) says producing books in the name of Peter was a virtual cottage industry in the early church. Thus we have (among others) the non-canonical Gospel of Peter and the two canonical epistles attributed to him.


How many books from the Bible did Peter write?

It was once thought that the apostle Peter wrote the two epistles known as First Peter and Second Peter. It was also suggested that Mark wrote the gospel that now bears his name, based on the memoirs of Peter.Most scholars now accept that Peter did not write First Peter and Second Peter. It is also accepted that Mark was unlikely to have been the author of Mark's Gospel, which was originally anonymous and which was not written until approximately 70 CE. So the position now is that Saint Peter made no contribution to writing the New Testament.

However, the epistles known as 1 Peter and 2 Peter are attributed to Peter.Scholars say that the two epistles were really written in the second century, in Peter's name. 2 Peter actually copies almost all of the Epistle of Jude, which is also clearly a second-century pseudepigraphical work.


Which of the Pauline letters are referred to as disputed?

A:It is more normal to talk in terms of the 'undisputed epistles', and the pseudo-Pauline epistles, which are those that are not undisputed. Seven of the thirteen letters attributed to Paul are undisputed, since nearly all scholars accept that Paul did write these: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. The Pastoral epistles, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titusare undisputed in a different sense, as nearly all scholars say that Paul did not write these.The clear majority of scholars say that Paul did not write 2 Thessalonians, Colossians or Ephesians, but a significant minority of scholars dissent from this consensus, so these could be termed 'disputed' epistles.


Did Paul write 15 Epistles?

No. Thirteen epistles have been written by him or in his name. Hebrews was also attributed to Paul at one stage, but this is too clearly neither an epistle not a work of Paul.Of the thirteen episltes actually attributed to Paul, scholars believe that seven were written by Paul himself. These are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. Based on a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine, leaving just five genuine epistles. On the other hand, the Second Epistle to the Corinthians is thought to contain parts of at least three original epistles consolidated together.

What books of the Bible did the disciples write?

Most of the books of the New Testament were written by apostles or other disciples of Jesus Christ. Matthew the apostle wrote a gospel. John the apostle wrote a gospel, three epistles and Revelation. Peter the apostle wrote two epistles, although recent scholarship has indicated that "2 Peter" was written many decades after his death by a follower. James and Jude each wrote an epistle, but they are probably not the two apostles by those names but two others known as brothers of the Lord. Mark, a follower of Peter, wrote a gospel. Luke, a follower of Paul, wrote a gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. Paul, an apostle but not one of the twelve who followed Jesus Christ during his public life, wrote 13 epistles. The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews is unknown.
