Thirteen 'epistles' or letters 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 Corinthians, 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 Philippians and 1 Thessalonians.

∙ 13y agoActually there are thirteen canonical letters attributed to Paul, although scholars generally agree that only seven were really written by Paul, and computer analysis suggests that as few as five could be genuine. These are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon and Galatians.

∙ 13y agoPaul's letters covered a huge range of topics. He taught doctrine, expounded the scriptures, taught how to live righteously, and how to administer a church and deal with problems arising in it. Above all, he asserted the truth that Jesus Christ was the son of God and not some fable as he had formerly believed.

2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus are sometimes referred to as pseudo-Pauline epistles, because the majority of critical scholars believe they were written by anonymous authors long after the time of Paul, and attributed to Paul.

What was Paul's last epistle?
A:We do not know who wrote Second Timothy, or just when, but it was written some time in the first half of the second century and was the last epistle attributed to Paul. Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that the attribution to Paul of the epistles to Timothy (1 Timothy, 2 Timothy) is clearly fictional, for their language, style and thought are thoroughly un-Pauline. This is the consensus view of most New Testament scholars.That the epistle was written in the second century is demonstrated by references to the role of bishops, who begin to appear early in the second century. Its content fits nicely into the situation and thought of the church in the mid-second century. The Timothy epistles were not included in Marcion's list of Paul's letters (ca 140 CE), and quotations first appear in lrenaeus' Against Heresies, dated about 180 CE.Thus, 2 Timothy was not the last epistle actually written by Paul, but it was the last epistle written in his name.Another Answer:Yes. Paul identifies himself as the author in the opening greeting of the letter:2 Timothy 1:1King James Version (KJV) 2 Timothy 11Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,Additionally, many believe 2 Timothy was written during Paul's second imprisonment in Rome as noted in 2 Timothy (1:8, 16, 17; 4:6-13). Eusebius, a 4th Century historian stated that Paul was martyred during Emperor Nero's regime before 68 AD. As this letter was written immediately before Paul's death, it was probably written circa 67 AD.
