 How Might One Identify Pseudepigraphy in the Pauline Epistles
  First, it is common practice to suggest that the language and/or literary style of an epistle differs to a greater or lesser degree from the language and style of the undisputed Pauline epistles.
  Scholars often note when an epistle uses words that are not common (or present at all) in the vocabulary of the undisputed Paulines, or when an epistle infuses common Pauline words with meaning that is not found in the undisputed Paulines.
The second major criterion commonly used to determine authenticity of authorship is comparison of theology in the letter under consideration with the theology found in the undisputed Paulines.
