However, its acceptance into the canon, the eschatological theme, and its similarity in context to 1 Thessalonians supports authenticity of the Pauline authorship. 2 Thessalonians’ installation in the Marcion’s canon and the Muratorian canon confirms its authenticity because this shows that it was fully accepted as a work of Paul as early as c.150. In order for a book to be considered as an authoritative
Paul, the Motherly Paterfamilias Introduction In Paul's time the role of paterfamilias in Roman households—as well as in general society—was that of an authoritarian ruler with absolute control over all people in his realm. In his letters to the congregations that he had founded and towards which he felt paternal affection, the apostle Paul transcended this dominating relationship by expressing deep emotions of longing and affection. He also nurtured them by sharing his life with them and
The polemical Epistle to the Galatians has some of the most explosive and harsh rhetoric in all Pauline epistles. Paul’s writing clearly indicates that he is troubled by the situation in Galatia. Along with the other Pauline epistles, with the possible exception of Romans (Goodacre, 2016b), Paul’s Letter to the Galatians is occasional. That is, Paul is responding to specific problems within the Galatian community (Goodacre, 2016a). The actual occasion of Galatians is as follows: Paul is writing to
parts: thanksgiving, petitions, and praise. Authorship, Date, and Purpose The text names Apostle Paul as the author (Eph. 1:1).

The Pauline Epistles include Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.

The authorship of the Pastoral Epistles, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus, is disputed
There are many epistles in the Christian bible that scholars consider to be pseudonymous. Pseudonymous is when an individual creates new work and gives the credit of the piece to someone with authority. One particular set of letters, the letter to the Ephesians, has sparked a debate between scholars over the authorship of the letter. In the past there was no question about the authorship of the epistle to Ephesians. Scholars originally believed the letter was written by Paul. The letter begins by

This book is a letter from Paul and is among the Pauline Epistles that was written in about 56 A.D. The book provides information about the Apostle Paul, Timothy, and the household of Chloe. The letter was addressed to the church of Corinth and it mainly outlines the immorality and the apparent divisions among them. Chapters 1-4 are about how Paul receives reports of the problems in the Corinth church. He responds by telling them that God had chosen them. Chapters 5-11 shows the immoralities in the
form and doctrinal emphases, as compared to other known Pauline writings, to substantiate their claim. Based on this argument many believe the pastorals to be written under pseudonymity, meaning some later follower wrote these letters and attributed them to the apostle. While pseudonymity was more commonplace in the Gospels and the apocalypses, letters written in this way are very rare. If one were to take the position that the pastoral epistles were written by anyone but Paul, a more likely scenario

An epigraph is brief quote or saying that is placed at the beginning of a novel to hint at its central theme. Additionally, epigraphs may be used to indicate authorial intention or act as a warning about what is to come. This technique can be incredibly potent as it often sets the tone for an entire book. Many of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century, such as To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, employ epigraphs that not only hint at the plotline
