1 & 2 Timothy
Titus
Colossians
The tone and attitudes in the fraudulent letters are very different from the authentic. I spoke with Dr. Metzger at Princeton about this. He agrees with some of my assumptions. The only authentic letter,IMO, that he disagrees with is 1 Thessalonians. He thinks it is fraudulent as well.

Please forgive my questioning the obvious, but am I the only one that notices Anthesian's smirking?
He just independently read those letters and comes to decisions that are widely discussed by scholars. He name drops, leaves the impression that he is just now noticing all of this ("have been reading,") and claims a conversation with a man who has been dead for almost two years.
