Timothy and Titus and Barnabus could easily have acted as Paul’s secretaries, or scribes. We know from some letters that he used them. the important thing is the theology, it never varies from Paul’s teachings.

However, in those cases Paul was always identified as the author.

Now, my good sir, this is weaseling. Either Paul wrote them or he didn't. If he had dictated (a claim missing entirely), then that too should have been noted. There are many analyses out there that do a good job of pointing out the differences between those letters that we accept that Paul wrote, and these questionable one.

But again, what about 2 Peter? What about the Gospels?

Whoever wrote it, Ephesians is wonderful. I made it a focus of prayer and study last summer. And the nice thing about being old is that I've forgotten so much that I could study it again this summer! But I'm going to do the Johannine corpus instead.
