<P> The Pauline epistles are the thirteen New Testament books that present Paul the Apostle as their author . Six of the letters are disputed . Four are thought by most modern scholars to be pseudepigraphic , i.e. , not actually written by Paul even if attributed to him within the letters themselves . Opinion is more divided on the other two disputed letters ( 2 Thessalonians and Colossians ) . These letters were written to Christian communities in specific cities or geographical regions , often to address issues faced by that particular community . Prominent themes include the relationship both to broader `` pagan '' society , to Judaism , and to other Christians . </P>
