| | Encyclopedia: Epistles |
 | | Epistle of the Romans to the Corinthians (1 Clement) | | | The epistles of the New Testament are Christian writings of Apostles to churches in particular parts of the world. | | | The word epistle is used partly because these were all written in Greek, in a time period close to when the epistles of the New Testament were written. |

| | BD Pauline Epistles |
| | In the epistle he vindicates his own position as an apostle, enunciates the doctrine of righteousness by faith, and affirms the value of spiritual religion as opposed to a religion of externals. | | | Epistle to the Hebrews was written to Jewish members of the Church to persuade them that significant aspects of the law of Moses, as a forerunner, had been fulfilled in Christ, and that the higher gospel law of Christ had replaced it. | | | Paul's 14 epistles found in our present N.T. were written to members of the Church who already had some knowledge of the gospel. |

| | Epistle to the Hebrews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The emphatic text of the epistle reiterates the view of Pauline Christianity that the new covenant has superseded the old. | | | Its numerous references to Temple worship in the present tense have been used to date the epistle before the destruction of the Temple (AD 70), but the evidence is not conclusive. | | | It has been regarded as a treatise supplementary to the Romans and Galatians, and as a kind of commentary on the book of Leviticus and Temple worship in general. |

| | Epistle to the Alexandrians (lost) Nothing is known of this letter apart from a brief mention in the Muratorian fragment that claims it was a Marcionite forgery. | | | His epistles form a fundamental section of the New Testament. | | | Some argue that he was instrumental in establishing Christianity as a distinct religion, rather than a sect of Judaism, as Christianity was first known. |

| | Van Manen, Old Christian Literature: Epistles |
| | All these epistles now came to be regarded as proceeding from the writers whose name they bore, and to have been originally intended for those who were named as their first recipients in superscription, subscription, address, or tradition. | | | At a later date was added an Epistle of the Church of Smyrna; on the same grounds might be added the epistle of the churches of Vienne and Lyons. | | | The second epistle was almost immediately on its rediscovery in 1633 received with a certain amount of depreciation; soon it came to be regarded by some as simply a homily which cannot have been written by Clement, and ultimately this view was adopted almost unanimously. |

| | THE SEVEN EPISTLES |
| | With the exception of the four Gospels, the books of the New Testament were written in the form of epistles, or letters, to individuals, to local churches, or to the apostolic church as a whole. | | | Paul wrote nine epistles to seven local churches and three to two of his companions in labor, but no person has any difficulty whatever in applying their revealed truths to his own heart and life down here in the twentieth century. | | | It is prefaced with seven epistles addressed to seven of the many churches of Asia Minor. |

| | BOOKS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT: "PAULINE EPISTLES" |
| | Gradually, the epistles became circulated within the mainline Christian movement, and were often read during services, at churches throughout the known world. | | | In his opinion, of the thirteen epistles which say that they were written by Paul, critical scholars have reached a near consensus that seven are Paul's: 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon and Romans. | | | This differs from epistles that are certain to have been written by Paul; the latter writings dealt largely with christology; they focused on Jesus. |

| | Deutero-Pauline and Pastoral Epistles |
| | The Pastoral Epistles were written around 100 -110 C.E., (closer to the time the gospel of John was put in its final written form). | | | Such passages are now combined with other material which seemed to be appropriate for the conditions which existed in the churches at the time the letters were written. | | | The Deutero-Pauline letters were written around 80-90 C.E. (approximate time the gospels of Matthew and Luke-Acts were written). |

| | STUDIES FROM THE PASTORAL EPISTLES |
| | It is not until the eighteenth century (1703) that these epistles were referred to as the "Pastoral Epistles." When they are referred to as the pastoral epistles, we mean that these epistles (letters) were written to individuals who were recognized as leaders in their respective churches where they ministered. | | | The purpose of the epistle seems to be that Paul wished to tell Timothy, who had the pastoral care of the church at Ephesus, how to handle the problems of church administration. | | | Logically, one would expect the words and content of the pastoral epistles to differ from the church epistles because of the intimate personal aspect of the pastorals rather than writing to a group of individuals. |

| | The Way of Holiness According To The Epistles |
| | The Epistles relate all of them to Christ as the perfect example--righteousness, holiness, godliness, perfection, love--these five, but "the greatest of these is love." Goodness, truth, faith, steadfastness, gentleness, blamelessness, freedom from blemish, irreproachableness, virtue, knowledge, self-control, and brotherly affection--all these also find their fullness in 'Christ. | | | In language similar to what he used in the Gospel, John wrote in his First Epistle of being "born of God," of "the Spirit which he has given us," of knowing "that you have eternal life," and of taking "the water of life" (I John 3:9, 24; 5:13; Rev. 22:17). | | | The new birth is fathered by imperishable seed, the living and abiding word of God. |

| | Hermann Detering, The Dutch Radical Approach to the Pauline Epistles |
| | This excited Van Manen's interest in the first unquestionable witness of the Pauline Epistles, the arch-heretic Marcion, who was excommunicated in Rome in 144 C.E., accused by the Fathers of the Church of tampering not only with the Gospel of Luke, but also with the Pauline Epistles in the interest of his dualistic-gnostic theology. | | | The Epistles together have for him in common, "that they all spring from one circle, that they were originally all of them useful to one spiritual attitude, which we may call Pauline, since it was associated with the name of Paul, just like the Johannine ones with that of John. | | | The supposition that Marcion has subjected the Pauline Epistles to a text-critical revision is, unlike the case of the Gospel, based not on what Marcion himself says, but on an insinuation of the Fathers of the Church. |

| | THE SOUND OF SILENCE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT EPISTLES: TOP 20 |
| | Not only are the epistles silent on Jesus the teacher, they are silent on any appointment of apostles by Jesus on earth. | | | Even if the Gospels were not yet in existence when this early epistle was written (many date it to the mid-1st century), oral tradition would surely have progressed to the point where Jesus’ behavior before Pilate and his Jewish judges would entail such an idea. | | | Indeed, even in modern Christian preaching to the outside world, we encounter it constantly: that Jesus of Nazareth, a human being who lived at a given point in the past and did certain things, was in fact the Son of God and Messiah. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epistles to Timothy and Titus |
| | Catholics know from the universal tradition and infallible teaching of the Church that these Epistles are inspired, and from this follows their Pauline authorship as they all claim to have been written by the Apostle. | | | In the very first Epistle that St. Paul wrote we read: "And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you: That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake" (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13). | | | In his first Epistle (1 Thessalonians 5:12) St. Paul speaks of rulers who were over them in the Lord, — see also Rom., xii, 8; "governments" are referred to in I Cor., xii, 28, and "Pastors" in Eph., iv, 11. |

| | The other objections brought against the unity of the Epistle are ably refuted by the same author, whose argument may be briefly summarized as follows: the last section, it is said, begins very abruptly, and is loosely connected with the previous one by the particle de. | | | But this Epistle is great not only for its style but also for the variety and importance of its doctrinal teaching. | | | It is only by accident, as it were, on account of abuses, that St. Paul speaks, in the First Epistle, of the form of consecration used at Corinth, and which is substantially the same as that given in the Gospels. |

| | Rather, it confirms the view that the Jews’ guilt, in Paul’s mind, is limited to their failure to heed the preaching apostles, to respond to the call to have faith in the spiritual Son, revealed by God, which Paul and others are delivering. | | | The opening verses of this epistle could well be ranked next in line, for they contain an important and telling insight into the source of Christian ideas about God’s Son, and an explanation for those ‘human’ sounding features occasionally given to him. | | | And the early 2nd century epistle of Barnabas devotes an entire chapter (10) to an attempt to discredit the Jewish dietary restrictions, yet not even here, not even this late, does a Christian writer who knows his traditional scriptures inside and out refer to Jesus’ own words on the subject. |
