A Table

Identifying the Time when Each of

the Epistles of Paul, Peter, James, John, and Jude were Written

Abstract:

Based upon the within New Testament chronology findings as more fully discussed elsewhere, most of the events and epistles can be more or less exactly dated. The four gospels are obviously written or finalized some time between the crucifixion (19 CE,) i.e. the last event recorded in each gospel on the one hand, and on the other the death of each respective author of said gospels.

The table below provides a relatively exact date of authorship for most of the epistles of the New Testament, the only exceptions being 2 Peter, 2 John, and 3 John.

To pursue the basis for the dating of each epistle please click on the desired link under ‘Name of Epistle’ in the table below!

Core presentations of the within New Testament chronology study:

1. A table outlining the exact dates of the 19 CE crucifixion week!

2. A listing of dated New Testament events and the supporting calculations and references.

3. A listing of the beginning and ending dates of the twelve Roman Emperors from Julius Caesar through Domitian, and the supporting calculations and references.

4. A review of some of the biblical fundamentals behind this study.

5. The 26± astronomical celestial events tying the Passover to 19 CE.

6. Please notice the glaring absence of any significant correlations between exactly dated celestial events on the one hand, and on the other the conventional Roman and New Testament chronologies.
