The vast majority of the New Testament contains letters (referred to as "epistles"). Some of these letters were sent to individuals ([[Philemon]], [[1 Timothy]], [[2 Timothy]], [[Titus]], [[3 John]]), others were sent to churches or other groups (Romans - 2 Thessalonians, Hebrews - Jude). The [[Revelation | Book of Revelation]] was not sent to a single church, but rather to a group of churches, as was [[1 Peter]] and possibly [[2 Peter]].==Quotes==
