<P> The Acts of the Apostles is a narrative of the apostles' ministry and activity after Christ's death and resurrection, from which point it resumes and functions as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke . Examining style, phraseology, and other evidence, modern scholarship generally concludes that Acts and the Gospel of Luke share the same author, referred to as Luke--Acts . Luke - Acts does not name its author . Church tradition identified him as Luke the Evangelist, the companion of Paul, but the majority of scholars reject this due to the many contradictions between Acts and the authentic Pauline letters . The most probable date of composition is around 80--100 AD, and there is evidence that it was still being substantially revised well into the 2nd century . </P> <P> The epistles of the New Testament are considered by Christians to be divinely inspired and holy letters, written by the apostles and disciples of Christ, to either local congregations with specific needs, or to New Covenant Christians in general, scattered about; or "General Epistles ." </P> <P> The Pauline epistles are the thirteen New Testament books that present Paul the Apostle as their author . Six of the letters are disputed . Four are thought by most modern scholars to be pseudepigraphic, i.e., not actually written by Paul even if attributed to him within the letters themselves . Opinion is more divided on the other two disputed letters (2 Thessalonians and Colossians). These letters were written to Christian communities in specific cities or geographical regions, often to address issues faced by that particular community . Prominent themes include the relationship both to broader "pagan" society, to Judaism, and to other Christians . </P> <Ul> <Li> Epistle to the Romans </Li> <Li> First Epistle to the Corinthians </Li> <Li> Second Epistle to the Corinthians </Li> <Li> Epistle to the Galatians </Li> <Li> Epistle to the Ephesians </Li> <Li> Epistle to the Philippians </Li> <Li> Epistle to the Colossians </Li> <Li> First Epistle to the Thessalonians </Li> <Li> Second Epistle to the Thessalonians </Li> </Ul>
