A collection of Paul's letters circulated separately from other early Christian writings and later became part of the New Testament. When the canon was established, the gospels and Paul's letters were the core of what would become the New Testament. [27] [page needed]
Some scholars have proposed that Paul may have used an amanuensis, or secretary, in writing the disputed letters, [2] although such a solution would not explain the fact that the disputed letters appear to have been written at least a decade after Paul’s death. There are two examples of pseudonymous letters written in Paul's name apart from ...
Scholars have increasingly questioned Paul's authorship and attributed the letter to an early follower instead, but others still defend it as authentic.

Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God. [11] Craig C. Hill notes that "the Pauline authorship of Romans is not in doubt". [1] The reference to "the gospel of God" in this salutation is distinctive. [1] The phrase appears again in Romans 15:16.
