Who Wrote the Bible? Session 21: The Epistles of Paul (and Others)

The Great Courses Presents: Who Wrote the Bible? | Sessions

The Epistles or letters of Paul to the Christian communities of the Near East are the earliest Christian writings and the earliest articulation of Christian theology. Learn why scholars believe that roughly half of them were written by Paul, and the remaining ones were not. Look into the possible origins of the other letters, and what the authors may have aimed for in writing under Paul’s name.
