AnswerThe Second Epistle to Timothy is traditionally believed to have been written by Paul from Rome. However, it is reported that scholars are almost unanimous in believing that this is one of the 'pseudo-Pauline' epistles written in Paul's name long after his death.

If the epistle was only written to appear to have been written by Paul himself, we can not be certain where the real author wrote 2 Timothy from.

How many letters did the apostle Paul write and not write?

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.


How many letters did the Corinthians write to Paul?

It is apparent from 1 Cor. 16:8 that Paul is writing from Ephesus ("I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost"). He is responding to a number of specific issues in his letter (most certainly not his first letter). How did he know this detailed information? The answer: by both oral and written accounts. Regarding the latter, for instance, 1 Cor. 7:1 has "Now concerning the matters about which you wrote..." We then learn that Paul received written information specifically about marriage problems. When asking the question: did the Corinthians write to Paul? We can answer with some confidence that the letter writing was reciprocal. Unfortunately, only two letters survive and they are from Paul.

What epistles did Paul write at the height of his career?

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.

Was Clement the writer of Paul's epistles?

On the evidence of Eusebius, Clement was bishop of Rome between 92 and 101 CE. Clement is said to have written two letters to the Corinthians, but these are not the same letters as Paul wrote to the Corinthians. In any case, Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians must have been written before Mark's Gospel, which is reliably dated to around 70 CE. The Clementine epistle, 1 Clement does refer to Paul's letter to the Corinthians. No, he did not write Paul's epistles - Paul wrote them. Some are of the opinion that Clement may have written Hebrews.
