		Moreover, the structure of the Epistle, its subject-matter, and its affectionate outbursts of prayer for the recipients and of exhortation are all decidedly Pauline characteristics.
		Non-Catholics who hold the Pauline authorship of the two letters generally admit that Paul predicted the second coming would be within his own lifetime and deem that the signs narrated in II Thess., ii, as preludes to that coming do not imply a long interval nor that Paul expected to die before these signs occurred.
		The third chapter is the usual Pauline request for prayers, a charge to avoid the disorderly, a truly Pauline allusion to the example he set them, and the final identification of the letter by a greeting written with his own hand.

	Authorship of the Pauline epistles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pauline epistles are the fourteen books in the New Testament traditionally attributed to Paul of Tarsus, thirteen of which are explicitly ascribed to Paul, and one of which, Hebrews, is anonymous.
		For example, that the Epistle to the Hebrews is anonymous became a cause for debate concerning Pauline authorship as early as the writings of Origen in the 3rd Century.
		Udo Schnelle argued that 2 Thessalonians was significantly different in style from the "undisputed" epistles, characterizing it as whole and narrow, rather than as a lively and abrupt discussion on a range of issues.

	Epistle to the Ephesians - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		The Epistle to the Ephesians is one of the books of the Bible in the New Testament, traditionally said to be written by Paul at Rome about the same time as that to the Colossians, which in many points it resembles.
		The great probability is that the epistle to Colossae was first written; the parallel passages in Ephesians, which amount to about forty-two in number, having the appearance of being expansions from the epistle to Colossae.
		The style of this epistle is exceedingly animated, and corresponds with the state of the apostle's mind at the time of writing.

		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.
		The pastoral epistles were accepted into the canon, as it developed in the 3rd century, while the legends continued their parallel, apocryphal career.
		The main vehicle for the Pauline legend-cycle is the Acts of Paul and Thecla, which Origen mildly approved, but which attracted Tertullian's attention at the end of the 2nd century; he complained that the example of Thecla was being employed to legitimize women teaching and baptizing.

	Science in Christian Perspective
		Differences in style within the so-called Pauline Corpus of the Bible have long been noted and described even by the most conservative biblical scholars, and in recent years evangelical scholars have generally conceded that the book of Hebrews is non-Pauline.
		Using Humans, I and H Corinthians, and Galatians as Group 1, and I and II Thessalonians and I and II Timothy as Group 2, the groups are distinguishable at the 5% level of significance.
		As a parameter for authorship in the Pauline Corpus, it fails to furnish the sensitivity needed to distinguish differing styles.

		The longest-established important application of statistical techniques to linguistic problems is stylometry, a method of resolving disputed authorship (usually in a literary context, occasionally for forensic purposes) by finding statistical properties of text that are characteristic of individual writers, such as mean word or sentence length, or frequencies of particular words (see e.g.
		Such a technique was proposed by Augustus De Morgan in 1851 in connexion with the authorship of the Pauline Epistles; concrete investigations, using methods of greater or lesser statistical sophistication, have been carried out by many scholars, beginning with T.C. Mendenhall in 1887.

	Hermann Detering, The Dutch Radical Approach to the Pauline Epistles
		In all his major investigations into the Pauline Epistles (Rom, 1 and 2 Cor), Van Manen stereotypically begins by inquiring after the nature of the work, the unity of the book, and the composition of the epistle, in the course of which he deals mainly with questions of a literary-critical character.
		The Epistle to the Galatians, where in the introduction it is explicitly said that Paul is the apostle called by God, "not of man, neither by man," is remodeled on the basis of the Catholic Acts of the Apostles.
		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.

	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.
		The "Authorship of the Pastoral Epistles" was discussed in "The Church Quarterly" in October, 1906, and January, 1907.
		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).

	SRB Review 10(3)
		The cusum method is said to determine authorship by successively adding up the deviations of sentence length and language habits in a given sample (deviation from the mean sentence length and mean number of habit usages in the sample under analysis).
		One strength of the cusum method of authorship attribution is that it is particularly apt at detecting trends, such as consistent deviations of sentence length and language habits.
		As authorship attribution is based on a comparison of samples, the stylometrist needs to establish and then test a hypothesis concerning who the author might be.

		It is reassuring to see that all Paul's scholarly-recognized Epistles are within the oval, along with two books of doubted Pauline authorship, Colossians and Ephesians.
		Outside the oval are all Epistles definitely by other authors, as well as 4 conventionally attributed to Paul: Hebrews, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus.

		The paper was "Pseudonymity and the Pastoral Epistles: An Evangelical Response to I. Howard Marshall's 'Allonymity' Proposal".
		In the epistles we have in the NT, this is much more the case because their interpretation and exegesis is so dependent on the stated setting and circumstances being authentic or at least reliable.
		The (previous) scholarly consensus on the Pastoral Epistles (PE) is that they are late documents reflecting Pauline communities which had become institutionalised and had come to terms with the delay of the Parousia by settling down into a form of accommodation with the wider society.

		The First Epistle of Peter and the First Epistle of John have generally been accorded a higher degree of authority than the others; but even these were not written by apostles, nor in the first century.

	bible.org: The Non-Pauline Epistles
		Because of the uncertainty of its authorship, its recognition as a part of the New Testament canon, at least in the West, was delayed until the fourth century when it was finally accepted in the Western church through the testimonies of Jerome and Augustine.
		This epistle begins with “James of God … to the twelve tribes.” To clearly indicate the sender, the NET Bible translates, “From James, a bond-servant of God … to the twelve tribes …” But there were four men with the name James in the New Testament.
		This conclusion is supported by the resemblances in the Greek between this epistle and the speech of James at the Council of Jerusalem (James 1:1 and Acts 15:23; James 1:27 and Acts 15:14; James 2:5 and Acts 15:13).

		In addition, there was a strong acceptance of these letters as Pauline fairly early on (in comparison to II Peter, James, and John, which all had difficulty).
		Nothing undisputed has appeared with epistles, and the only supposed ones that are claimed are actually in the NT, all of which are controversial.
		Hebrews really is the only NT book with no clear tradition as to its authorship, though it seems clearly to have been written by someone who knew Paul (or at least had been to some of the places Paul went around the same time and knew some of his traveling companions, most notably Timothy).
