Summary
In this work on the question of pseudepigraphy in the Pastoral Epistles, Martina Janßen examines the consolidation of the currently controversial corpus thesis. Against the background of ancient letterbooks, she develops a new reading of the Pastoral Epistles as a fictional letterbook, with the different nuances of the three letters serving as a key to interpreting the composition of the corpus.
