11. For both books see Percy, Die Probleme der Kolosser- und Epheserbriefe, 1–15. For Colossians, see Kiley, Colossians as Pseudepigraphy, 37–39. For Ephesians, consult van Roon, Authenticity of Ephesians, 3–36; Hoehner, Ephesians, 6–20.
12. See Goodspeed, The Formation of the New Testament, 20–32; Goodspeed, The Meaning of Ephesians, 10, 41–42, 73–75; Goodspeed, “Ephesians and the First Edition of Paul,” 285–91.

15. Ibid., 128–34.
16. Mitton, Ephesians: Its Authorship, Origin, and Purpose, 45–54, 267.
17. Ibid., 79–81.
18. Ibid., 64–67.
19. Ibid., 83–97.
20. Goodspeed, The Meaning of Ephesians, 82–165; Mitton, Ephesians: Its Authorship, Origin, and Purpose, 118–58, 280–315 .
21. E. P. Sanders, “Literary Dependence in Colossians,” 28–45. Following a similar method as part of her inquiry is Leppä, The Making of Colossians,59–208.
22. E. P. Sanders, “Literary Dependence in Colossians,” 30.
23. Ibid., 44.
24. Van Roon, Authenticity of Ephesians, 435–36.
25. Ibid., 429–32.
26. Ibid., 436–37.
27. Ibid., 389.
28. Studies of this sort include Morton and McLeman, Paul, the Man, and the Myth; Bujard, Stilanalytische Untersuchungen zum Kolosserbrief; Neumann, The Authenticity of the Pauline Epistles. Of these three, Neumann’s work uses the most sophisticated statistical controls and arrives at the most tentative conclusions, demonstrating that with statistical analysis the process must be carried out and the results applied with due caution.
29. Käsemann, “Eine urchristliche Tauftliturgie,” 144.
30. Conzelmann, “Paulus und die Weisheit,” 233–34; Conzelmann, “Die Schule des Paulus,” 85, 88–90.

32. See for instance Kiley, Colossians as Pseudepigraphy, 32, 90–103; Lincoln, Ephesians, lxx; Best, Ephesians, 36–40; Angela Standhartinger, “Colossians and the Pauline School,” 572–73; Hay, Colossians, 20, 23–24; Leppä, The Making of Colossians, 12; R. Wilson, Colossians and Philemon, 34, 167.

34. Fischer, “Anmerkungen zur Pseudepigraphie im Neuen Testament,” 76–81.
35. Dalton, “Pseudepigraphy in the New Testament,” 32–33. According to Dalton the level of biographical detail in Colossians precludes it from being placed in the category of extended authorship. Dalton supposes that Colossians must be either genuinely Pauline or blatantly pseudepigraphal.
36. Meade, Pseudonymity and Canon, 103–106.
37. Ibid., 160–61. The rationale for the comparison is that the non-epistolary Jewish works and the disputed Pauline letters share a common desire to preserve authoritative legacy.
38. Ibid., 161.

41. Metzger, “Literary Forgeries and Canonical Pseudepigrapha,” 15.
42. Among recent works that recognize the element of deception in early Christian pseudepigraphy are Carson, “Pseudonymity and Pseudepigraphy,” 860–63; Baum, Pseudepigraphie, 92–93; Verhoef, “Pseudepigraphy and Canon,” 95; Clarke, “Pseudonymity,” 447.

46. Mitton, Ephesians: Its Authorship, Origin, and Purpose, 232–33.
47. Van Roon’s passing reference to an “idealized picture of Paul” in Eph 3:5 is characteristic of the relative lack of curiosity about the topic (Van Roon, Authenticity of Ephesians, 389).
