Christian scholars refer to the letters to Timothy (and Titus) as the 'Pastorals' because they are concerned with pastoral issues that became important in the second century. They were not really written by Paul, nor were they written to Timothy, but were encyclicals to the Church at large, providing instruction for the overseers of congregations in the second century. By writing two epistles and attributing them to Paul, the author created a marvelous fiction in order to place a church manual of discipline from the mid-second century in the very beginning of the apostolic tradition.
Their attribution to Paul is clearly fictional, for their language, style and thought are thoroughly un-Pauline. The 'personal' references to particular occasions in the lives of Timothy, Titus, and Paul do not fit with reconstructions of that history taken from the authentic letters of Paul.
The letters were not included in Marcion's list of Paul's letters (ca 140 CE), nor do they appear in the earliest manuscript collection of Paul's letters (ca. 200 CE). The first quotations from the epistles appear in lrenaeus' Against Heresies, dated about 180 CE.

yesAnswerIt was the Second Letter to the Thessalonians that most scholars believe Paul did not write. Most, although not all, believe that the first letter is genuine. On this view, Paul only wrote one letter to the Thessalonians.
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.

None. There are, however, two epistles (letters) from Paul TO Timothy.
Timothy was a second generation believer that Paul the Apostle taught and wrote letters to. From the context in Paul's writing Timothy was a young minister and leader in the Church. Paul entrusted him with many tasks concerning the Church. See 1 Timothy.
Paul's primary protégé in the gospel was Timothy. Timothy was a young pastor and missionary who traveled with Paul on many of his missionary journeys and was entrusted with leadership roles in the early church. Paul wrote two letters to Timothy, offering guidance and encouragement in his ministry. Through these letters, Paul emphasized the importance of sound doctrine and perseverance in faith.
A:Thirteen epistles are traditionally attributed to St. Paul. The consensus of scholars is that he actually wrote 7 of these: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. He did not write 6 letters attributed to him: Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus, which are termed the pseudo-Pauline epistles, as they were written in Paul's name.
St Paul is found in the bible many times He has letters from him to someone or a city (known as epistles) - such as the letter of Paul to the Corinthians, letters to Timothy 1 and 2 and others.
Timothy didn't write any books of the Bible, honey. The letters to Timothy in the New Testament were actually written by the apostle Paul. So, Timothy may have been a great guy, but he's not the one penning those letters.
There are two letters to Timothy. I Timothy has 6 chapters and II Timothy has 3 chapters.

A:The three pastoral epistles are 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus, so named because they dealt with pastoral issues that emerged in the second century. They are also included among the pseudo-Pauline epistles because they were written in Paul's name, using his authority to have themessage of the pastoral epistles accepted by Christians.
Many of Paul's books are letters to various churches or people. Many of these are found in the New Testament. The list includes (but not limited to): Romans, 1/2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1/2 Thessalonians, 1/2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, etc....
