Why did St. Paul write 21 letters?

A:The apostle Paul may well have written 21 or more letters, but most of these have not survived to the present day. The 13 New Testament epistles attributed to St Paul are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon. Many scholars now accept only Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippiansand 1 Thessalonians as genuine. A.Q. Morton goes further, having carried out a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul and found that only Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians and Philemon contain exactly the same writing style as Galatians. Thus, Paul personally wrote only 5 or 7 of the letters traditionally attributed to him, with the remainder written in his name after his death. Apart from Philemon, Paul's letters were written to cajole and instruct the churches in various matters. Philemon was written to a fellow-Christian on behalf of a slave whom Paul was sending back to his owner.


What letters of the Bible were written to a person?

A:Paul's Epistle to Philemon was certainly written to a single person.Titus, 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy, the Pastoral epistles, were supposedly written by Paul to Titus and Timothy respectively, but the strong consensus of New Testament scholars is that they were only written in Paul's name and as late as the second century. As with any pseudepigraphical work, we can not assume that the intended audience really were those to whom the letters appear to be written, and in this case the letters were really written to all Christians.
