1 Thessalonians is believed to be the first epistle written by Paul, although some scholars doubt whether it was really written by Paul, but instead written some time after his death, using his name.
The next epistle was probably Galatians.
He then wrote his letters to the Corinthians. These are known to us as 1 and 2 Corinthians, but some scholars say that 2 Corinthians was a composite of at least two different epistles written by Paul.
The next epistle written by Paul was probably Romans.
Apparently while imprisoned in Rome, he wrote Philemonand Philippians. However, the authorship of Philippians is not entirely certain.
The majority of critical scholars say that Ephesians, Colossians and 2 Thessalonians were not written by Paul, and they are therefore known as pseudo-Pauline epistles. The last group of pseudo-Pauline epistles to be written are the Pastorals, seen as second-century compositions and almost unanimously regarded by critical scholars as not written by Paul - 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus.
Based on events portrayed in Acts of the Apostles, Paul's epistles are traditionally thought to have been written between 48 and 62 CE. However, the text of Paul's own epistles suggests that some of his epistles might have been written somewhat earlier - between 44 and 48 CE.
Scholars are almost unanimous that Paul did not write 1 Timothy or 2 Timothy . These epistles are called the 'Pastorals' because they were written to deal with pastoral issues that had arisen in the second century, including the roles of bishops and of women in the church. Paul himself had seen a subordinate role for women, and these epistles were strengthening and formalising that view.
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 ).

Yes, and some ascribe a total of 13 books to Paul known as the Pauline Epistles.

James, John, Peter, Jude, and an unknown author of Hebrews.
Paul wrote several epistles, or letters, in the Bible, but not a gospel. In fact, he does not seem to have known much about the life of Jesus of Nazareth and seems not to have regarded him as a person who had lived in the recent past.

A:The term 'Pauline epistles' is applied to those epistles that scholars generally agree were actually written by the apostle Paul. The term 'non-Pauline epistles' is applied to those epistles that scholars generally agree were not actually written by the apostle Paul, although the authors wrote in his name. Another term for 'non-Pauline epistles' is 'pseudo-Pauline epistles'.The epistles almost universally regarded as having been written by Paul are: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and1 Thessalonians. The following epistles are regarded by the majority of scholars as non-Pauline: Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus.
Paul wrote 14 books of the Bible, starting with Romans and continuing through Hebrews.

A:It is more normal to talk in terms of the 'undisputed epistles', and the pseudo-Pauline epistles, which are those that are not undisputed. Seven of the thirteen letters attributed to Paul are undisputed, since nearly all scholars accept that Paul did write these: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. The Pastoral epistles, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titusare undisputed in a different sense, as nearly all scholars say that Paul did not write these.The clear majority of scholars say that Paul did not write 2 Thessalonians, Colossians or Ephesians, but a significant minority of scholars dissent from this consensus, so these could be termed 'disputed' epistles.
Paul wrote 13 epistles and not 21 epistles in the new testament.
No. Thirteen epistles have been written by him or in his name. Hebrews was also attributed to Paul at one stage, but this is too clearly neither an epistle not a work of Paul.Of the thirteen episltes actually attributed to Paul, scholars believe that seven were written by Paul himself. These are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. Based on a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine, leaving just five genuine epistles. On the other hand, the Second Epistle to the Corinthians is thought to contain parts of at least three original epistles consolidated together.
