Sep 20, 2017 · For three main reasons, almost all scholars believe the Gospel of Luke was written by the same person who wrote Acts: Luke and Acts were written in the same style and express the same theology. Both books are addressed to the same person—a man named Theophilus. Acts 1:1–2 appears to tie the two books to the same author.
- Mark's Gospel. Most experts agree that Mark’s Gospel was written first. Even non-Christian scholars date Mark between thirty-five and forty-five years after Jesus’s death (i.e., between AD 60 and 70).
- Matthew's Gospel. Matthew’s Gospel is generally agreed to be later than Mark’s, with many experts dating it between AD 60 to 80. Papias also mentioned Matthew, suggesting that he may originally have written his Gospel in Hebrew or Aramaic (the common language of Jews of Jesus’s time and place).

Feb 26, 2021 · The gospels were produced from c. 70 CE to perhaps 100 CE.

The four gospels vary in some of the details of Jesus.

Jul 24, 2017 · Specifically, the Gospels refer to when Roman soldiers surrounded Jerusalem in 67 CE, and most notably the Gospels mention the complete destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, which happened in 70 CE (see e.g., Luke 21 and Mark 13).

Jan 2, 2015 · John wrote three letters to Christian believers between 85 and 88AD in order to denounce the teachings of Gnostics (see 1 John 1:1-4, 2 John 1:7-11 & 3 John 1:3-4), and he probably wrote his gospel very shortly before this in c.85AD.
