A general epistle is an epistle recognised as being written to Christians in general rather than individual persons or congregations.The pastoral epistles are the pseudo-Pauline epistles, 1Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. They were written in Paul's name and now known as 'Pastorals' because of their concern with pastoral issues that began to arise in the early part of the second century. Although they were really written to the Church as a whole, they are not usually termed "general epistles" because they were written as if to individuals.

Not one of Peter, James, Paul, John or Jude is now believed to have written any of the General Epistles, as they are all regarded as pseudepigraphical. In other words, some epistles were written in the names of Peter, James, John and Jude, and attributed to them, but they were not really the authors.

Stephen King divides writers into four categories: bad writers, competent writers, good writers, and geniuses.
A:The general epistles bear the names of their authors: James, Peter, John and Jude. Many scholars will argue endlessly over their true authorship, but people of faith will accept as most likely that James and Jude were written by (half-) brothers of Jesus who, though they did not believe on Him at first, became disciples following His resurrection, and that Peter and John were written by those apostles for whom they are named. A:The "general epistles" are attributed to James (whichJames is uncertain; possibly the half-brother of Jesus), the apostle Peter, the apostle John, and Jude (who identifies himself as the "brother of James," so possibly another of Jesus' half-brothers). A:James, Peter, John, and Jude are the writers of the general epistles bearing their names.

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 ).
