Are emails the new epistles?

PJ Wexler raises an interesting point in his comment to our last post. The answer is, no, email is not the new epistles. There was email back in the time of St. Paul. In fact, he used email for the first time in his message to the Corinthians, entitled First Email to the Corinthians. He abandoned email shortly thereafter and reverted to paper when many of the Corinthians, unfamiliar with their computers, clicked on the Reply All button. The resulting confusion is seen by some historians as the beginning of the end for Corinth as a hot spot on the Greco-Roman casino resort circuit, although a number of others blame Sarah Palin.
