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.

What are the epistles in the Christian Bible?

A letter is generally regarded as a communication of a private, personal, confidential nature whereas an epistle is of a general nature, addressed to all whom it may concern, and intended to be made public. This distinction may be retained for the Bible, although quite a number of the New Testament Epistles contain those intimate touches which are proper to a letter. On the other hand since the letters are a part of divine revelation they are now of interest to all men. The Epistles are the twenty-one books of the New Testament written in the form of letters to churches or individuals. The fourteen Epistles of St. Paul are called after the group or person to whom they were addressed. The remaining seven are called by the name of the author. They are called "Catholic" because they were intended for the Church at large, although the second and third Epistles of St. John are addressed to individuals.
