Whether Paul wrote the three other epistles in his name (2 Thessalonians, Ephesians and Colossians) is widely debated. [1] According to some scholars, Paul wrote the questionable letters with the help of a secretary, or amanuensis , [ 2 ] who would have influenced their style, if not their theological content.
The Pauline epistles are the thirteen books in the New Testament traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle.. There is strong consensus in modern New Testament scholarship on a core group of authentic Pauline epistles whose authorship is rarely contested: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon.
The breakdown of Romans as a treatise began with F.C. Baur in 1836 when he suggested "this letter had to be interpreted according to the historical circumstances in which Paul wrote it." [45] Paul sometimes uses a style of writing common in his time called a diatribe. He appears to be responding to a critic (probably an imaginary one based on ...
According to its text, the letter was written by Paul the Apostle, an attribution that Christians traditionally accepted. However, starting in 1792, some scholars have claimed the letter is actually Deutero-Pauline, meaning that it is pseudepigrapha written in Paul's name by a later author strongly influenced by Paul's thought. According to one ...
If the text was written by Paul, it could have been written at Rome during his first imprisonment. [19] [20] Paul would likely have composed it at roughly the same time that he wrote Philemon and Ephesians, as all three letters were sent with Tychicus [21] and Onesimus. A date of 62 AD assumes that the imprisonment Paul speaks of is his Roman ...

In his assessment, this was an Interpolation possibly dating to the beginning of the 2nd century. Price states that "The pair of words in verse 3a, "received / delivered" (paralambanein / paradidonai) is, as ...
This is a common feature in Paul's epistles. [27] Except in Galatians, Paul thanks or blesses God for the good things he has heard about a particular church in the beginning of his letters. [30] In this epistle, Paul mixes it with his prayer for the church (1:3–4) and with joy (1:5), "a combination he will recommend in 4:6". [30]
Most New Testament scholars believe Paul wrote this letter from Corinth only months after he left Thessalonica, [5] although information appended to this work in many early manuscripts (e.g., Codices Alexandrinus, Mosquensis, and Angelicus) state that Paul wrote it in Athens [8] after Timothy had returned from Macedonia with news of the state ...
