Glossary

Catholic epistles

An old-fashioned term for a group of letters in the New Testament that were understood to be written for Christians in general, rather than just for individuals or for specific churches. They include James, 1 and 2 Peter, the three letters of John and the letter of Jude. The word ‘catholic' in this sense means ‘universal'.
