A look into the new testament 2
In this paper I shall take a look into The New Testament.

The structure of the New Testament is as follows: 1 Gospels 2 Acts 3 Pauline epistles 4 General epistles 5 Revelation.

The Pauline epistles were written by Paul formally known as Saul. The same Saul who in the book of Acts looked after the garments of those that stoned Stephen. Paul had called himself “I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee:” Paul was raised a Pharisee, grew up studying the law. Paul’s conversion came about on his way to persecute Christians. On the road to Damascus when the Lord appeared to him and said, “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” The timeline for the Pauline epistles were written from 52 or 53 AD, to 63 AD.

The Pauline books are;


Romans
1 and 2 Corinthians
Galatians
Ephesians
Philippians
Colossians
1 and 2 Thessalonians
1 and 2 Timothy
Titus
Philemon

The general epistles are as follows:


Hebrews some include the book of Hebrews among the apostle Paul's writings, the certain identity of the author remains an enigma. Missing is Paul's customary salutation common to his other works. In addition, the suggestion that the writer of this epistle relied upon knowledge and information provided by others who were actual eye-witnesses of Christ Jesus (2:3) makes Pauline authorship doubtful.
Possible timeline is was written around A.D. 65.

James The book of James is probably the oldest book of the New Testament, written perhaps as early as A.D. 45,

1 and 2 Peter between A.D. 60 and 68.

1 and 2 and 3 John A.D. 85 - 95 A.D.

Jude The book of Jude was written somewhere between A.D. 60 and 80.

Revelations was written by John the same John wrote the Book of John of the Gospels. The book of Revelation was likely written between A.D. 90 and 95.
