As controversial as it is pseudonymity in the New Testament raises doubts among the
peoples with regards to some books therein. Of course pseudonymity is supposed to make people
have a different view of some books. In its simplest terms pseudonymity refers to attributing
authorship to some known and respected person. Paul is a known person and therefore he had
authority and credibility. His works have earned respect among the people. If, by any means,
some of the books written by him were not actually written by him this revelation could indeed
have a negative effect on these books (Fenton, 1955).
Many scholars do believe that some of the books attributed to Paul were written by his
followers in his name. Indeed, this section of scholars believe that his followers wrote these
books using some of his letters that still survive, including those that do not survive anymore
(Powell, 2009). Clement could have been a Gentile/Roman who ministered alongside St. Paul.
He could have contributed so much to the development of the New Testament as he could be the
author of some books that have been excluded in the Bible but whose messages have been used
to develop other books. He was also a leader who contributed critically to the continuity of the
church.
The question of inclusion of these books in the Canonical books is controversial but
indeed if they were not written by Paul they should be struck out and given a different title.
These books should be retained in the Bible with accurate authorship to remove doubt and
confusion with true Paul’s works. However, this has to be done once authorship is duly verified
as doing so carelessly would bring chaos to the Holy Book.
