Fourteen of them, dealing with things that were needed both in the individual congregations in Paul's day, as well as in Christianity throughout history, were added to The Bible canon, such as letters to the congregations in Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, Colossae(1+2Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians) as well as to the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem(Hebrews) and the 'Jewish/gentile mixed' Christians in Rome (Romans) encouraging unity. Also his two letters to the congregation in Thessalonica (1+2 Thessalonians), to his close companion, Timothy(1+2 Timothy), to his fellow worker and overseer, Titus, and to Philemon, encouraging forgiveness of his now-Christian slave, Onesimus.

A:

Most scholars accept that Paul did write the epistles attributed to him, unless proven otherwise. By this standard, Paul is considered to have written seven of the thirteen letters attributed to him: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippiansand1 Thessalonians.

A.Q. Morton set out to actually prove that Paul wrote these letters, by use of computer analysis. He assumed that Paul wrote Galatians and compared the style of the remaining epistles to this undisputed epistle. His analysis found that only Romans, 1 Corinthians,2 Corinthians and Philemon contain exactly the same writing style as Galatians - although at this stage, most scholars maintain that Paul did write seven of the epistles attributed to him.
