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.
Placing Paul in this time period is done on the basis of his reported conflicts with other early contemporary figures in the Jesus movement including James and Peter, [251] the references to Paul and his letters by Clement of Rome writing in the late 1st century, [252] his reported issues in Damascus from 2 Corinthians 11:32 which he says took ...
