Statement of belief: “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word
is truth.” (John 17:17 KJV)

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 (18 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 18 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 18± astronomical celestial
events tying the Passover to 18 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.
