How many books of the Bible did Timothy write?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The evangelist Timothy did not write 1st Timothy. Paul wrote 1st Timothy and he had to have been at least 40 when he did so. Given that Paul was crucified at about 62, it is a reasonable assumption that he was in his mid 40's when he wrote to his protegee.

Answer 3

Paul wrote the first letter to Timothy around AD 65 and the second, around AD 67 according to tradition. There are some scholars who question the authorship of these and other epistles written by Paul. An expert on Paul, N.T. Wright, the Bishop of Durham and the most widely read biblical scholar of our day, and author of Paul, says "Take for example, the widespread assumption still common in many quarters that not only Ephesians but also Colossians are not written by Paul himself, even if they contain some material that goes back to him...But our suspicions ought to be aroused by the fact that such consensus as there has ever been on the subject came from a time when the all dominant power in New Testament scholarship lay with a particular kind of German existentialist Lutheranism for whom any ecclesiology other than a purely functional one, any view of Judaism other than a purely negative one, any view of Jesus Christ other than a fairly low Christology, any view of creation other than a Barthian 'Nein', was deeply suspect." He adds "In particular, the assumption that a high Christology must mean later, and non-Pauline, authorship has been brought to the material, not discovered within it."

Answer 4

The First Epistle to Timothy, or 1 Timothy, is traditionally attributed to Paul. However biblical scholars are almost unanimous in saying that 1 Timothy is a 'pastoral' epistle written during the second century CE. The author was anonyomous, but used Paul's name to add prestige to his writing.

Answer 5

Timothy is traditionally believed to have written two books in the New Testament, 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy.
