Document Summary
1 thessalonians, galatians, 1 and 2 corinthians, romans, philippians, and philemon. Difficult to know degree of input by co-authors. Paul at time wrote in own hand at other times used a scribe. Paul may have dictated verbatim (word for word) His letters address problems for the most part and do not mention what he taught. Day of yhwh becomes day of lord jesus christ. Teaching of jesus is implied in much of his writing. Some dispute whether paul knew and/or taught jesus"s teaching, because direct reference to it is mostly absence from letters. However, the absence of presence does not mean the presence of absence. In other words, the absence in paul"s letters of jesus"s teaching does not necessary mean an absence of knowledge of it on his part. His letters are addressing specific problems that rarely would require him to mention. Often the letters are dealing with problems that jesus did not meet in his ministry.
