Problems with this article: 1. Although in a Christian context, 'epistle' refers to Christian writings, in antiquity and even more recent periods it refered to letters in general. 2. It only mentions the cannonical epistles; it should mention other epistles as well (1 Clement, Laodiceans, Epistle to Diogenetes (or whatever it was called), the supposed correspondence between Jesus and a Syrian King, etc.) 3. It presumes they were all written by the Apostles. Some epistles probably were, but others likely weren't.
Good comments. I'll try to at least begin addressing them, though listing all epistles ever is a rather daunting task. Wesley
