While I agree with most of this post, I think this is a red
herring. We know the Corinthians lost at least one of
Paul's letters and have no idea what the state of
preservation was for the others. Maybe such a compilation
was the best anyone could manage? While I find the
"collage" theory largely convincing, I am most bothered by
the lack of the formal elements of a letter in the various
fragments.
