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.

Who wrote books of Corinthians Peter Mark Hebrews and Revelation?

The First Epistle to the Corinthians and the Second Epistle to the Corinthians were written by the apostle Paul. The First Epistle of Peter and the Second Epistle of Peter are believed to have been written in Peter's name by anonymous authors, with the second book clearly a second-century work. Mark's Gospel was originally anonymous, but was attributed to Mark early in the second century. This attribution is not accepted by modern scholars. The Book of Hebrews has been attributed to Paul, but even the early Church Fathers realised that it was not an epistle he would have written. It remains anonymous. The Book of Revelation is signed by a person called John. The early Church Fathers disputed who this 'John' really was, and finally decided to include it in case the author was the apostle John. Modern scholars refer to its author simply as 'John of Patmos'.
