They often were about real situations in churches involving a problem that needed to be confronted.
The earliest letter in the bible is the Letter by Paul to the church in Corinth.
An epistle.
The Apostle Paul wrote most of the New Testament as letters to different churches. For instance: Galatians was written to a church in Galatia; Phillippians to a church in Phillippi; Corinthians to a church in Corinth, etc.
They are called epistles
The church in Corinth received epistles from two different apostles: Paul and Peter. Paul's letters, known as First and Second Corinthians, addressed various issues within the church and provided guidance on moral and doctrinal matters. Peter's involvement, particularly through his references in Paul's letters, indicates the broader apostolic concern for the church's well-being and unity. This highlights the collaborative effort of early Christian leaders in nurturing and guiding the faith of the community.
The Acts of the Apostles which details the history of the early church is between the Gospel accounts and the epistles.
