Based on authorship issues, the Pauline corpus is divided into three groups: the Pastoral epistles (1-2 Timothy and Titus), the Deutero-Pauline epistles (Ephesians, Colossians, and 2 Thessalonians), and the undisputed Pauline letters (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon).

The New Testament is therefore a library of sources gathered together into what we call a canon, a set of texts considered authoritative by some religious group. A council of Christian church leaders set the New Testament canon in its current form in the 4th century CE. It is the second part of a larger collection of sacred scriptures.
The New Testament is a collection of 27 books originally written in Koine or "common" Greek, the functional, nonliterary language of the day. These books were composed in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE by a number of authors and in a variety of genres (kinds or types of literary compositions).
The first part is the Hebrew Bible, called the Old Testament by Christians, and together the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament make up the Christian Bible for Protestant Christians.
The Hebrew Bible provides some of the historical background and theological foundation for the books of the New Testament, and many key themes, figures, and events from the Hebrew Bible appear and are transformed in the writings of the New Testament.
