Paul (ST EPISTLES OF There)

ST., EPISTLES OF. There are 14 epistles in the New Testament usually ascribed to Paul, beginning with that to the Romans and ending with that to the Hebrews. Of these the first 13 have never been contested; as to the latter many good men have doubted whether Paul was the author, though the current of criticism is in favor of this opinion. These epistles, in which the principles of Christianity are developed for all periods, characters, and circumstances, are among the most important of the primitive documents of the Christian religion, even apart from their inspired character.
