Thirteen epistles have been attributed to Paul. Hebrews was also at one stage attributed to him, but that is clearly not the case. It was never attributed to him until late in the second century.At least seven Pauline epistles are widely considered to be genuine, and of these five have been shown by computer analysis to contain exactly the same writing or dictation style: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philemon and Galatians. The two that may, with some confidence, have been written by Paul, but do not match the style of Galatians are Philippiansand 1 Thessalonians.So the epistles that Paul actually wrote, according to the consensus view of New Testament scholars are: 1 Thessalonians, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians and Philemon.
Who wrote many of the letters in the Bible?
A:Thirteen letters, or epistles, are attributed to St Paul, while seven epistles have traditionally been attributed to four of the twelve disciples of Jesus. However, the consensus of scholars is that of the epistles attributed to Paul, only Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippiansand 1 Thessalonians are genuine, with the remainder written in Paul's name after his death. A.Q. Morton goes further, having carried out a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul and found that only Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians and Philemon contain exactly the same writing style as Galatians. Moreover, not one of the epistles attributed to James, John, Jude and Peter can safely be attributed to the named apostles. Whether Paul really wrote 7 or only 5 letters in the Bible, his contribution is considerable.

However, John's Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to John towards the end of the second century. Scholars say that the Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, in which case it was not written by John, and therefore the Johannine epistles were not written by John.Two epistles are attributed to Peter, but scholars say they were really written by two different authors, writing in the first half of the second century.The Epistle of Jude actually self-identifies as having been written in the second century and not by a disciple of Jesus.Finally, James is an unknown. It could have been written later in the first century and therefore it is possible that it was written by the apostle James, or by James the brother of Jesus. This epistle is more about moral living than Christian belief and there is nothing to indicate whether either was actually the author, but the lack of any reference to Jesus and his mission is likely to rule out James, son of Zebedee.Paul is the only apostle who can really be credited with having written a New Testament epistle.
