Not one of Peter, James, Paul, John or Jude is now believed to have written any of the General Epistles, as they are all regarded as pseudepigraphical. In other words, some epistles were written in the names of Peter, James, John and Jude, and attributed to them, but they were not really the authors.
St. Paul wrote most of the Epistles, but there were also some written by other saints, like St. Jude, St. Peter, St. James and St. John. Check the link below for these and other references to Epistles.
A letter is generally regarded as a communication of a private, personal, confidential nature whereas an epistle is of a general nature, addressed to all whom it may concern, and intended to be made public. This distinction may be retained for the Bible, although quite a number of the New Testament Epistles contain those intimate touches which are proper to a letter. On the other hand since the letters are a part of divine revelation they are now of interest to all men. The Epistles are the twenty-one books of the New Testament written in the form of letters to churches or individuals. The fourteen Epistles of St. Paul are called after the group or person to whom they were addressed. The remaining seven are called by the name of the author. They are called "Catholic" because they were intended for the Church at large, although the second and third Epistles of St. John are addressed to individuals.
Christian tradition identifies him as the author of several New Testament works: the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation.
Among the 40 plus authors, writers, and contributors of the books of the Bible, Moses has the most contribution. He was the author of the foundation of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) which was referred as the 'Pentateuch'. Additional Comments: If we are not looking to 'length' of writing but 'number,' then Paul is commonly credited with 13 Letters or Epistles. Some question his writing the Book of Hebrews - if he is counted as being the writer, then The Pauline Letters contain 14.
There are twenty-one epistles or letters in the New Testament, including Hebrews. Of these, the only epistles for which the author is really known are the epistles of Paul.Paul wrote Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians and Philemon. Many scholars believe he also wrote 1 Thessalonians and Philippians.2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus are sometimes referred to as pseudo-Pauline epistles, as the majority of critical scholars believe that they were written by anonymous authors long after the time of Paul. In fact, 2 Thessalonians 2:2 implicitly tells the reader that forged Pauline letters had been circulating. Whether or not this was a genuine Pauline epistle, this statement certainly warns us that not all Paul's epistles were authentic.The Epistles of James, Peter, John and Jude were all written pseudonomously. 2 Peter actually includes the text of the Epistle of Jude! Jude, in turn, while intended to be read as if written by Jude in the first century, stands with its readers and refers to the apostles in the distant past.
Paul is the author of the book of epistles. Epistle means in letter form. The word "epistle" simply means "letter." There is no "Book Epistle" or "book of epistles." Though many modern scholars will argue over their authorship, Paul is generally accepted as the writer of all the New Testament letters, or epistles, from Romans through Philemon. The author of Hebrews is uncertain, and the "general epistles" following Hebrews were written by James, Peter, John and Jude. In a way, Revelation can also be thought of as an epistle since it was meant to be distributed and read throughout the churches. Its author was the apostle John.
Paul.
The characters were realistic, and the author wrote in a style similar to that of medieval writers.
