Epistle
An
epistle
(;
Greek
ἐπιστολή,
epistolē,
"letter") is a writing directed or sent to a person or group of people, usually an elegant and formal
didactic
letter. The epistle genre of letter-writing was common in
ancient Egypt
as part of the
scribal-school
writing curriculum. The letters in the
New Testament
from
Apostles
to
Christians
are usually referred to as epistles. Those traditionally attributed to
Paul
are known as
Pauline epistles
and the others as
catholic (i.e., "general") epistles
.
