How much of the New Testament did Paul write?
Thirteen letters, or epistles, of the New Testament begin with a formula like “Paul, servant of God, to [recipient’s name].” However, some liberal scholars believe that as many as half of these letters might not have been written by Paul. Many, like 2 Thessalonians, may have been from the “School of Paul”–either dictated by Paul or written by people who came after him and shared his theology.
