The different books of the New Testament (NT) were written in the first century A.D. but at different times. They are not listed in strict chronological order in The Bible.
Apparently the earliest of the books was completed/written about 40/45 A.D. and no other NT book seems to have been written before that.
Other books of the NT were subsequently written, and, finally, the latest books may have been completed towards the end of the first century.
So the NT could have been written within a 60 year period.
Of course the NT is not one book, but a collection of writings/books/letters etc, hence the term 'biblos' meaning a collection of holy or sacred writings, which term which would also include the writings of the Old Testament, which forms the background to the New Testament.
Opinions differ as the the exact dates of composition of the different books of the NT, but the general consensus is that they were all written no earlier than 40 AD and before 140 A.D. The actual 'composition time' would therefore span, at most, a 100-year time period.
AnswerThe Gospel of Matthew was completed in 41 AD . The book of Revelation was completed in 96 AD. So the estimated completion time would be about 55 years.

What are the disadvantages of only reading the Old Testament?
This question can be understood in terms of reading only the Old Testament but not the New Testament, or in terms of reading only the Old Testament but nothing else that could contradict or challenge the stories and traditions portrayed in the Old Testament. For a Jew, there is no particular disadvantage in reading the Old Testament but not the New Testament, as the New Testament is not relevant to his religion. For a Christian, the disadvantage is that the books most important to his faith are in the New Testament. Anyone reading only the Old Testament and not what is now known about the history of the times and biblical scholarship on the Old Testament, the disadvantage is that the reader must take everything literally and can not have an informed view as to how literally the Old Testament should be read.
