A:Between five and seven epistles were actually written by Paul. Raymond E Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that the majority of scholars say that 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon and Romans were written by him. 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, leaving some room for doubt regarding 1 Thessalonians and Philippians. No doubt this period was the height of Paul's missionary career.

Also traditionally attributed to Paul are 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1and 2 Timothy, and Titus, which are sometimes referred to as pseudo-Pauline epistles and are believed to have been entirely unknown to St Paul.

Paul himself had seen a subordinate role for women, and these epistles were strengthening and formalising that view.

Why were Paul's epistles named Pauline Epistles?

AnswersIn general terms, Paul's epistles are known as Pauline epistles to distinguish them from the epistles known as the Epistles of James, John, Jude and Peter. In more specific usage, the epistles believed to really have been written by Paul (1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon and Romans) are known as Pauline Epistles to distinguish them from those known as pseudo-Pauline epistles (2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus ).


Which of the Pauline letters are referred to as disputed?

A:It is more normal to talk in terms of the 'undisputed epistles', and the pseudo-Pauline epistles, which are those that are not undisputed. Seven of the thirteen letters attributed to Paul are undisputed, since nearly all scholars accept that Paul did write these: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. The Pastoral epistles, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titusare undisputed in a different sense, as nearly all scholars say that Paul did not write these.The clear majority of scholars say that Paul did not write 2 Thessalonians, Colossians or Ephesians, but a significant minority of scholars dissent from this consensus, so these could be termed 'disputed' epistles.
