In my bible, The New Oxford Annotated Bible (NSRV), a prologue states the Pastoral Epistles are psuedoepigraphical,not written by Paul. When comparing "The Letter of Romans or other letters attributed to Paul (according to scholars), 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy have a different voice and style than Romans or Philippians. My questions are, does anyone have evidence for who might have written these epistles, and how should modern readers weigh biblical texts that are in question? I guess I'm saying Romans holds more weight for me than Timothy. Especially when some concepts seem inconsistent. Thanks!
Who could have written the Pastoral Epistles?
