The "letters" that Paul wrote are also called "Epistles" - each and all of which are called and considered to be "books" in the New Testament. There are 27 total books in the New Testament, 21 of which are epistles, or letters...

The general consensus is that Paul wrote the following 14 "books" of the New Testament (again, ALL of which are letters, or epistles):

Romans (letter to people in Rome, an overview of Christianity)
1 Corinthians (letter to church at Corinth)
2 Corinthians (2nd letter to church at Corinth)
Galatians (letter to church at Galatia)
Ephesians (letter to church at Ephesus)
Philippians (letter to church at Philippi)
Colossians (letter to the church at Colossae)
1 Thessalonians (letter to the church at Thessalonica)
2 Thessalonians (2nd letter to the church at Thessalonica)
1 Timothy (pastoral letter to Timothy)
2 Timothy (2nd pastoral letter to Timothy)
Titus (pastoral letter to Titus)
Philemon (letter to slave-owner, Philemon)
*Hebrews (letter to the Hebrews)

*Some people belive that Hebrews may not have been written by Paul, though most do credit this to Paul. The other letters have Paul's name at the beginning, while Hebrews does not.
-

The only other books in the New Testament (13 total) were not written by Paul and include the following, with their respective authors:
Matthew - written by Matthew
Mark - written by Mark
Luke and Acts - written by Luke
John, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, and Revelation - written by John
James - written by James
1 Peter, 2 Peter - written by Peter
Jude - written by Jude

Hope this helps you!

Grace and peace,

Here's how to find the answer yourself so you're not just taking our word for it. Go to the New Testament find Acts. Right after that comes Romans. Starting with Romans, go to each of the books and look at the full title. In some Bible translations, it will say "Paul's Epistle to the Romans." In others, it will say "a Letter of Paul to the Romans." In others, it won't give you these full titles, so you need to know how else to tell. Go to the first few verses of each book, starting with Romans and going on, and look there. Paul generally starts out by identifying himself pretty clearly. "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus" is one way he does that. Look for his 'I.D.' at the beginning of the letter. If it's not there, he probably didn't write it. I think there are about 13 of them, also called the Pauline Epistles.

If you just want a list (is this homework for a Bible class or are you just mainly curious?) email me by clicking on the name under my little grey smiley box over there and I'll send you one. I don't understand what you mean by "books, not letters" because all of the books we have by Paul in the NT were originally letters written by Paul to the newly planted churches in that area.

The 13 Books from Romans thru Philemon. All of the Epistles are also called books. It is Hebrews that some believe he wrote (I do) and some think was written by someone else. Peter in His 2nd Epistle seems to indicate this in chp 3:15 telling the Jews about an Epistle Paul wrote to them. All the others were to Gentiles so he seems to be referring to Hebrews.

He wrote Romans, I & 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Phillipians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon. There is the debate whether or not that he wrote Hebrews, the internal evidence of the book itself, shows that more than likely he did not write it.

Most of the books were originally letters.

I believe it was Acts, Romans, Ephiesians, Corinthians, Galations, Colosians... He wrote about the places he visited while being a missionary.
