why doesnt everyone give their dating system for the books of the bible?
this is very interesting. but approximate dats i would give as such:
(they are mostly the average of liberal and conservative dats, though some agree with either end of the debate).
mark: 53-63 AD
luke: 70-80
matthew: 70-80
john: 90-100 AD
acts: 65-68 [with luke]
romans: 54-60
1 cor: 59
2 cor: 60
gal: 59-63
col: 64
eph: 64
phil: 64
phil'm: 64
1 th: 52-59
2 th: 53-60
1 tim: either 62-63 or 70+ (by a writer other than paul)
2 tim: see above
tit:see above
hebrews: 70-100
1 peter: 65-70
2 pe: 120
james:49-53
jude:
1 jn: 70-100
2 jn: 75-100
3 jn: 78-100
revelation:90-105
shalom- john
note that 2 and 3 john may not have been writen by the john of the gospel and revelation. the writer of revelation may be different too.
note that collosians may or may not have been pauls letter. ephesians is doubtfully pauls letter, based off of collosians. hebrews is for sure not pauls letter. none of the pastoral epistles are seen as pauls. all theses writings that are attributed to paul or john but may not be writen by them are called the pauline and johanine school.
it may also be a possibility that Pauls disciples wrote it, claiming that paul wrote it under a tradition that this honored their masters or teachers. what may also account for difference in writing style is that Paul had scribes (possibl because of an eye problem).
shalom- john
