There are numerous letters in the New Testament. The physician, Luke, is known to have written the letter now known as Acts (or Acts of the Apostles) to his friend Theophilus.

The Apostle Paul wrote Romans, I and II Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I and II Thessalonians, I and II Timothy, Titus and Philemon. Each of these is addressed to the individuals or groups that bear their name.

The book of Hebrews is a letter to the Hebrews from an unknown author.

The letter of James was written by James, believed to be the one who was a brother of Jesus. This letter is addressed only to "the twelve tribes scattered among the nations."

I and II Peter are letters written by Peter to the various believers "scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia".

I, II and III John are letters by John to believers, though they do not specify where these believers were placed. It's thought they were to the churches of the province of Asia.

The book of Jude is a letter written by Jude, who could have been the other Judas among the disciples (not Judas Iscariot the betrayer), or it could have been Judah, the brother of Jesus.

Is the New Testament just for Christians?

The New Testament is the second major division of the Christian Bible with 27 separate works (called books) attributed to at least eight different writers. Four accounts of Jesus' life are at the core. A history of selected events in the early church (Acts) is followed by twenty letters to churches and individuals and one apocalypse. The letters deal mainly with the interpretation of God's acts of salvation in Jesus Christ. Matters of discipline, proper Christian behavior, and church polity also are included. Believers were first called Christians in Antioch because their behavior, activity, and speech were like Christ (Acts 11:26). Yes the New Testament is for, but not just for, Christians.
