A rigorous work of New Testament scholarship, Letters That Paul Did Not Write: The Epistle to the Hebrews and the Pauline Pseudepigrapha presents a thorough critical examination of the deutero-Pauline and pseudo-Pauline letters — those epistles attributed to Paul but widely regarded by modern scholars as written by later authors in his name. Raymond F. Collins argues with precision and academic authority that understanding the phenomenon of pseudepigraphy is essential to interpreting these texts within their proper historical and theological contexts. The study details the literary, stylistic, and theological characteristics that distinguish each letter from the authentic Pauline corpus, offering careful analysis of works such as Ephesians, the Pastoral Epistles, and the Epistle to the Hebrews. Written in a measured yet intellectually demanding tone, the work instructs readers in the methods of historical-critical scholarship while illuminating the rich diversity of early Christian communities and their evolving theological traditions. Scholars, seminarians, and serious students of biblical literature will find this an indispensable resource for understanding the complex authorship questions that surround the Pauline tradition.
