A general epistle is an epistle recognised as being written to Christians in general rather than individual persons or congregations.The pastoral epistles are the pseudo-Pauline epistles, 1Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. They were written in Paul's name and now known as 'Pastorals' because of their concern with pastoral issues that began to arise in the early part of the second century. Although they were really written to the Church as a whole, they are not usually termed "general epistles" because they were written as if to individuals.
Paul wrote most of the epistles in the Bible. Others were written by James, John, Jude and Peter.
Geoffrey Fenton has written: 'Golden epistles'
A:The term 'Pauline epistles' is applied to those epistles that scholars generally agree were actually written by the apostle Paul. The term 'non-Pauline epistles' is applied to those epistles that scholars generally agree were not actually written by the apostle Paul, although the authors wrote in his name. Another term for 'non-Pauline epistles' is 'pseudo-Pauline epistles'.The epistles almost universally regarded as having been written by Paul are: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and1 Thessalonians. The following epistles are regarded by the majority of scholars as non-Pauline: Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus.
Epistles
A:The New Testament epistles are named for the apostles in whose names they were written or the apostles the second-century Church Fathers believed to have written them. The apostles are: Paul, James, Peter, John and Jude. The apostle Paul certainly wrote some of the epistles named for him, but scholars believe that the other epistles were all written pseudepigraphically, not by the apostles whose names they now bear.
