Brown, on this very topic. I was pleasantly surprised to hear him denounce as false the comparison between pseudepigraphy among the letters of St Paul and pseudepigraphy in the Old Testament.

All four authors are of the same time period. One of them is well familiar with the English countryside while the others are more at ease in the city. One of them is very fond of colored text which kills my eyes.
