1 Thessalonians is believed to be the first epistle written by Paul, although some scholars doubt whether it was really written by Paul, but instead written some time after his death, using his name.

The next epistle was probably Galatians.

He then wrote his letters to the Corinthians. These are known to us as 1 and 2 Corinthians, but some scholars say that 2 Corinthians was a composite of at least two different epistles written by Paul.

The next epistle written by Paul was probably Romans.

Apparently while imprisoned in Rome, he wrote Philemonand Philippians. However, the authorship of Philippians is not entirely certain.

The majority of critical scholars say that Ephesians, Colossians and 2 Thessalonians were not written by Paul, and they are therefore known as pseudo-Pauline epistles. The last group of pseudo-Pauline epistles to be written are the Pastorals, seen as second-century compositions and almost unanimously regarded by critical scholars as not written by Paul - 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus.

Scholars are almost unanimous that Paul did not write 1 Timothy or 2 Timothy . These epistles are called the 'Pastorals' because they were written to deal with pastoral issues that had arisen in the second century, including the roles of bishops and of women in the church. Paul himself had seen a subordinate role for women, and these epistles were strengthening and formalising that view.

Which of the Pauline letters are referred to as disputed?

A:It is more normal to talk in terms of the 'undisputed epistles', and the pseudo-Pauline epistles, which are those that are not undisputed. Seven of the thirteen letters attributed to Paul are undisputed, since nearly all scholars accept that Paul did write these: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. The Pastoral epistles, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titusare undisputed in a different sense, as nearly all scholars say that Paul did not write these.The clear majority of scholars say that Paul did not write 2 Thessalonians, Colossians or Ephesians, but a significant minority of scholars dissent from this consensus, so these could be termed 'disputed' epistles.
