Thirteen epistles have been attributed to Paul, which would make Paul the most prolific writer in the New Testament. However, several of the epistles are regarded by some scholars as having been written by anonymous authors long after the time of Paul.

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 and 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 Philippiansand 1 Thessalonians.

The Gospel According to St John, the three Epistles of St John and Revelations are sometimes considered to have been written by the same author. However, they are so different in style and even theology, that many scholars say that they were written by at least three authors. So, the to this question could not be John.

Even if we consider only the genuine works of Paul, he would certainly be the most prolific author in the New Testament.

It seems that Luke, who is known to have written the book of Luke and Acts, wrote more of the New Testament than any other author, including Paul. However, Paul wrote more books of the N.T.
