Was just looking through Bob Kraft's comments about disputed / undisputed Pauline letters. I really am unaware that anybody currently disputes the Pauline authorship of 1 Thessalonians, Philippians, or Philemon. There are those who want to make 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 an interpolation, and there are a number of proposals about the partitioning of Philippians (recently very clearly recounted by Raymond Brown in his Introduction to the NT). If memory serves me correctly, Baur's suggestion that 1 Thessalonians was inauthentic was answered (I would even say refuted) in the Tübingen School by Richard Adelbert Lipsius. There have been a number of people who want to reverse the sequence of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, starting with Hugo Grotius in the 1620s and including Johannes Weiss and most recently Charles Wanamaker in his NIGTC commentary. But who other than Baur ever suggested that 1 Thessalonians was pseudonymous?
