Epistles

Epistles are letters written by early Christian leaders, primarily the apostles, to communicate religious teachings, guidance, and encouragement to communities or individuals. Found in the New Testament of the Bible, these writings address doctrinal issues, ethical conduct, and faith practices, helping shape early Christian beliefs. They serve as a form of communication similar to modern letters, but with a focus on spiritual and moral instruction, and often reflect the context and challenges faced by early Christian churches.
