Best Answer
A:Very possibly Paul's epistles were the earliest Christian documents of which we have copies today. It is also possible that the Epistle to the Hebews is older, as could be part of the Epistle of James.

Some believe that the earliest gospel, Mark's Gospel, could have been inspired in part by Paul's epistles.
