Also not accurate according to my understanding. Recent re-datings have moved actual writings CLOSER to the actual events. And something else that folks do not understand is the dating we're talking about. The core NT books were generally thought to have been written between 60 and 90 AD. Some folks are even asserting less. Well, this is the number of years after Jesus BIRTH. We think he was 33 at time of crucifiction. And we're not sure the dating process actually chose the right year for Jesus' birth. So, the earliest NT scriptures MAY have been written as soon as ten or fifteen years after his death. Probably not. Probably more like 25-30 years. But not the eons that most folks seem to think.
