Do not fill this in! ====Catholic epistles==== The [[Catholic epistles]] (or "general epistles") consist of both letters and treatises in the form of letters written to the church at large. The term "[[Catholic (term)|catholic]]" ([[Koine Greek|Greek]]: καθολική, ''katholikē''), used to describe these letters in the oldest manuscripts containing them, here simply means "general" or "universal", and does not imply that they are not accepted as canonical by non-Catholic Christians. The authorship of a number of these is disputed. * [[Epistle of James]], written by an author named "James", often identified with [[James the Just|James, the brother of Jesus]]. * [[First Epistle of Peter]], ascribed to the [[Saint Peter|Apostle Peter]]. * [[Second Epistle of Peter]], ascribed to the Apostle Peter, though widely considered not to have been written by him.<ref>{{cite book |last=Fornberg |first=Tord |translator-last=Gray |translator-first=Jean |year=1977 |title=An Early Church in a Pluralistic Society: A Study of 2 Peter |url=https://archive.org/details/earlychurchinplu0000forn |url-access=registration |type=Thesis |series=Coniectanea Biblica, New Testament Series 9 |location=Lund |publisher=Gleerup |page=14 |isbn=9789140044372 |oclc=1244729487}}</ref> * [[First Epistle of John]], ascribed to [[John the Apostle]]. * [[Second Epistle of John]], ascribed to John the Apostle. * [[Third Epistle of John]], ascribed to John the Apostle. * [[Epistle of Jude]], written under the name of [[Jude, brother of Jesus|Jude, the brother of Jesus and James]].
