St. Paul's Letters

St. Paul's letters, also known as the Pauline Epistles, are traditionally categorized into several groups based on their authenticity and the audience they were addressed to. The most commonly accepted grouping includes:

1. Authentic Letters (generally recognized as written by St. Paul):

   • Romans
   • 1 Corinthians
   • 2 Corinthians
   • Galatians
   • Philippians
   • 1 Thessalonians
   • Philemon

2. Deutero-Pauline Letters (letters whose authorship is debated, often attributed to the "Pauline School"):

   • Ephesians
   • Colossians
   • 1 Timothy
   • 2 Timothy
   • Titus

3. Other Letters:

   • The Letter to the Hebrews is sometimes included in discussions of Pauline authorship, though its authorship remains uncertain and is not universally accepted as Pauline.

This classification reflects the understanding of St. Paul's contributions to the New Testament and the early Christian community, as noted in various theological resources
