Whether Paul wrote the three other epistles in his name (2 Thessalonians, Ephesians and Colossians) is widely debated. [1] According to some scholars, Paul wrote the questionable letters with the help of a secretary, or amanuensis , [ 2 ] who would have influenced their style, if not their theological content.
"Tertius" was an amanuensis of the apostle, who wrote this letter, either from the apostle's notes, or from dictation. [18] His name is a Latin one, and perhaps the person might be a Roman, for the names Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, etc. were common with the Romans, although it could be argued that this man was the same with Silas ...
The Pauline epistles are the thirteen books in the New Testament traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle.. There is strong consensus in modern New Testament scholarship on a core group of authentic Pauline epistles whose authorship is rarely contested: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon.
