The New Testament contains letters written by the apostle Paul to the churches at Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, Colosse and Thessalonika, and personal letters to Timothy, Titus and Philemon. There is also a general letter to 'the Hebrews' who are thought to be those Jewish Christians who were scattered after the persecution in Jerusalem following the death of Stephen. Its author is unknown, but is generally considered to be Paul. The apostles John, James, Peter and Jude also wrote general letters. The Book of Revelation begins with letters from Jesus Christ from heaven, conveyed by the apostle John, to the seven churches of Asia. These letters were solemn warnings against laxity and falling away.

All these letters contain, as well as pastoral greetings and some personal communications, explanations of Christian teaching and advice on Christian living which are as important for us today as they were for the first century Christians.
