http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorship_of_the_Pauline_epistles

<traditionally attributed to Paul of Tarsus, of which thirteen are
explicitly ascribed to Paul, and one, Hebrews, is anonymous. Except
for Hebrews (see Antilegomena), the Pauline authorship of these
letters was not academically questioned until the nineteenth century.

Seven letters are generally classified as "undisputed", expressing
contemporary scholarly near consensus that they are the work of Paul:
Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians,
and Philemon.

Six additional letters bearing Paul's name do not currently enjoy the
same academic consensus: Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2
Timothy, and *TITUS* . The first three, called the "Deutero-Pauline
Epistles," have no consensus on whether or not they are authentic
letters of Paul. The latter three, the "Pastoral Epistles", are widely
regarded as pseudographs, though certain scholars do consider them
genuine. There are two examples of pseudonymous letters written in
Paul's name apart from the alleged New Testament epistles. Since the
early centuries of the church, there has been debate concerning the
authorship of the anonymous Epistle to the Hebrews, and contemporary
scholars reject Pauline authorship

The First Epistle to Timothy, the Second Epistle to Timothy, and the
Epistle to *TITUS* are often referred to as the Pastoral Epistles,
and, after Hebrews, are the most disputed of all the epistles
attributed to Paul. The Pastoral Epistles lay out church organisation
concerning the character and requirements for bishops, elders,
deacons, and widows. Some scholars have claimed that these offices
could not have appeared during Paul's lifetime. In terms of theology,
some scholars claim that the Pastorals reflect more the
characteristics of 2nd century (Proto-orthodox) church thought, than
those of the 1st century. In particular, whilst in the 1st century the
idea of Christ's return being immediate was current, see parousia (as
also described in the non-pastoral epistles), in the 2nd century it
was seen as more distant, matching the choice of the pastorals to lay
down instructions for a long time after the passing away of the
apostles. Lastly, some have argued that the Pastorals condemn forms of
Hellenic mysticism and gnosticism, which were seen as not significant
in the first century.

Norman Perrin argued that Paul's travels to Crete (Titus 1:5-6), again
to Ephesus (1 Tim 1:3), Nicopolis (Titus 3:12), and Troas (2 Tim 1:15,
4:13) cannot be fit into any reconstruction of Paul's life or works as
determined from the other epistles or from Acts. In this he was
preceded by several scholars who rejected Pauline authorship. Robinson
argued against this analysis, while others have debated whether this
should be grounds for rejection of Pauline authorship, as Acts
concludes while Paul is still alive.>>
