Ahem, ahem... we weren't talking about any of the Gospels, we were talking about one of Paul's letters. He "wrote" letters, perhaps using scribes, it's not known. But we do have the texts today. Now, how close those texts might be to what Paul "wrote" is a matter of much conjecture. That was the point I was trying to make. Many writers have used dictation, so the letters are Paul's even if he used a scribe. Arachne at FreeLists -- Arachne, The Web Browser/Suite for DOS and Linux --
