An '''epistle''' is a type of formal letter. The word comes from the [[Greek language]], and is typically used to describe formal letters sent to a group of people rather than to an individual. The [[New Testament]] in the [[Bible]] contains many epistles written to Christian congregations in the 1st century A.D., especially by [[Saint Paul]].
