→‎Pauline Epistles: trimmed sweeping claims about authorship
Line 339: Line 339:  
*[[Epistle to the Hebrews]]
 
*[[Epistle to the Hebrews]]
   −
Bible scholarship over the last two centuries has concluded that seven of these letters were almost certainly written by Paul: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, Philemon and 1 Thessalonians. Four letters were almost certainly written by other people using the authority of Paul's name: Ephesians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. Paul's role as author of Colossians and 2 Thessalonians is uncertain.

It is less clear whether Paul, or his disciples, wrote these letters bearing his name: Ephesians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. Paul's role as author of Colossians and 2 Thessalonians is uncertain.

Paul has also been attributed by many as the author of ''Epistle to the Hebrews'', but several others, such as [[Barnabas]], [[Silas]], [[Stephen]], [[Apollos]] and [[Priscilla]] are also claimed to be the author.  The controversy, however, does not affect the genuiness of the epistle. (Unger, pg. 748)

There is speculation that Paul may have written the ''Epistle to the Hebrews'', but authorship could have easily been by someone else, such as [[Barnabas]], [[Silas]], [[Stephen]], [[Apollos]], [[Priscilla]] or any other early Christian.  The controversy, however, does not affect the genuineness of the epistle. (Unger, pg. 748)
