What stands out in this dialogue the most to you? Why?
- What helpful
facts about the writing of the New Testament documents have you
learned from this lesson?
- Was it something like this?:
"Paul died anywhere from his 62 to 68. A.D.
Therefore, his epistles were written before that date. The book of Acts is a
history of the Christian Church. The book of Acts does not record
the death of Peter nor Paul and it does not mention the destruction
of Jerusalem and 70 A.D. Therefore, the book of Acts is logically
written before those dates. Luke, who wrote Acts, also wrote the
gospel of Luke before the book of Acts. Therefore, at least that
gospel was written quite early. As far as the Pauline epistles
and the work of Peter and James (whose death also was not recorded
in Acts), supports the fact that the New Testament documents were
written well before the close of the first Century and most probably
before 60 or 70 A.D.
