Did all of Paul's writing get into the Bible?

Answer 1

We do not really know how many epistles Paul wrote, so we can only say that those we know about got into The Bible. Some scholars say the 2 Corinthians appears to have originally been three separate letters that have been placed together as one for study purposes.

Many scholars believe that not all the epistles attributed to Paul were actually written by Paul. The Pastorals are almost unanimously regarded by critical scholars as not written by Paul - 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. The majority of critical scholars also say that Ephesians, Colossians and 2 Thessalonians were not written by Paul. Many liberal Christian scholars now accept only Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians as genuine. A.Q. Morton has even cast some doubt on 1 Thessalonians and Philippians, because a computer analysis shows that they do not share the same dictation or writing style as the others.
