The Letters of the New Testament, often called the Epistles, are a collection of writings from early Church leaders—most notably St Paul, but also Peter, James, John, and others—addressed to Christian communities and individuals.

Written to guide, encourage, and sometimes correct the early followers of Jesus, the Letters speak about faith in Christ, life in the Spirit, moral living, and the mission of the Church.

For Catholics, these writings are not just historical documents but living Word, offering insight into how the first Christians understood and lived their faith.

For teachers new to Scripture, the Letters provide a window into the challenges and hopes of the early Church and remain a practical and theological resource for guiding Christian life today.
