Letters of Paul
 
Q Is it true that the letters Paul wrote were actually invented by the early Church?
 
A

Not at all. There are no reputable biblical scholars today who would argue that all of the letters attributed to Paul are bogus.  There was a time decades and decades ago when many subscribed to that school of thought, but it has definitely fallen out of fashion.  There are a number of letters that many scholars attribute to disciples of Paul, rather than Paul himself (e.g.  Titus, 1 and 2 Timothy, Colosians, and Ephesians), but modern scholarship is nearly unanimous in attributing most of the pauline corpus to the pen (or rather quill!!) of Paul himself.
