PASTORAL EPISTLES

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 898 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PASTORAL EPISTLES , the name given to St
Paul
 's letters to
Timothy
  and Titus. The
term
  seems to have originated with J. A. L. Wegscheider (1771-1849), professor at
Halle
 . The three epistles mentioned are written to men rather than churches, and to men appointed to certain
pastoral
 
work
 . In this respect they differ from the personal and intimate
note
  which
Paul
  wrote to Philemon. They are closely related in origin,
style
 , diction and thought, and occupy 'so distinct a
place
  in these respects that the Pauline authorship of them has been much questioned. (See
TIMOTHY
 , EPISTLES TO; TITUS, EPISTLE TO.)
