Epistle

An epistle is a type of formal letter. The word comes from the Greek language, and is typically used to describe formal letters sent to a group of people rather than to an individual. The New Testament in the Bible contains many epistles written to Christian congregations in the 1st century A.D., especially by Saint Paul.

Jesus may have written the Epistle to the Hebrews.
