What books of the bible are attributed to Paul.
Of the 27 books in the New Testament, 14 are traditionally attributed to Paul, though only 7 of these Pauline epistles are accepted as being entirely authentic and dictated by St. Paul himself.
The body of New Testament writings whose authorship is ascribed to Paul is known as the Pauline Corpus.
Traditionally, fourteen letters were counted as part of the Pauline Corpus.
They are:
Romans, 1 and 2
Corinthians,
Galatians,
Ephesians,
Philippians,
Colossians, 1 and 2
Thessalonians, 1 and 2
Timothy,
Titus,
Philemon, and
Hebrews.
Of the fourteen letters above, only seven are unanimously accepted today by both Catholic and Protestant bible scholars as written by Paul.
These Letters which are also called Epistles are:
Romans, 1 and 2
Corinthians,
Galatians,
Philippians, 1
Thessalonians and
Philemon.
The rest are believed to have been written after Paul’s death by his disciples, who wanted to invoke his authority by continuing to propose his teachings in the face of new problems that arose later in the Christian communities.
