And then we have the Pauline epistle problem. So it's really fancy guesswork.

I understand what you mean. I have been reading the Pauline letters and I have decided what I consider to be authentically Paul.
Authentic:
1 & 2 Corinthians
Philipians
Galatians
Philemon
Romans
1 Thessalonians
Fraudulent:
Ephesians
2 Thessalonians
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.
