why not missives? or letters, notes, even the odd memo or two?

There´s a great word in Dutch for a short personal memo, it´s "kattebelletje", literally cat´s bell.
Wouldn´t it be great if every sunday in church the preacher would read someting from "Paul´s fourth cat´s bell to the the Tessalonicians" or something?
How much more fun would that make the service.
I say we change all the names of biblebooks into something more contemporary and fun.
Let´s call "Acts" "The deeds" from now on, much more hip-hoppy.
And "Exodus"? Boooring! "Run away!!" seems much more pleasing and clear from the beginning.
and then "Song of Solomon"... "Hear Sol Drop His S.hit"
Somebody stop me...

I'm sorry, but I don't know why that is the case, but this reminds me of a funny story where some kids were asked to define "epistles" in sunday school and one of the kids answered: "Epistles are the wives of the Apostles" :-))))

They could just as well be called "letters", because "epistles" is merely an older, more formal word, for "letters".

They are written for effect or instructions for us humans to follow and heed to
