What is the second oldest book in the New Testament?
No one is certain, but Hebrews is likely the oldest book in the New Testament. Next would probably come the genuine epistles of Paul. Thus, 1 Thessalonians could be the second oldest book in the New Testament.
Who was the author of the oldest book in the New Testament and what was his relationship to Jesus?
Some say that the Epistle to the Hebrews is the oldest book in the New Testament. We do not know who the author was, although it was at one stage erroneously attributed to St. Paul. The author spoke of Jesus as a High Priest in heaven, and does not seem to have known anything of the life of Jesus on earth.
Who was the oldest person in the New Testament?
Methuselah is the oldest person mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 5:27), living to the age of 969. In the New Testament, the apostle John is believed to have lived the longest, possibly into his 90s or even 100s, but his exact age is not specified.
Were Paul's letters the oldest surviving Christian documents?
A:Very possibly Paul's epistles were the earliest Christian documents of which we have copies today.

When was Jesus recorded first?
The Epistles of Paul are generally regarded as the earliest books of the Bible, and therefore the oldest references to Jesus that we have. These are generally regarded as having been written in the 50s of the first century CE. The Epistle to the Hebrews is probably similarly ancient, so it is possible for Hebrews to be the oldest extant reference to Jesus. Mark's Gospel is regarded by scholars as the first of the gospels. They believe that this Gospel was written in the 70s, some time after Paul's epistles and after Hebrews. We have no extant early record of Jesus from any source outside the New Testament.

Is Codex Sinaiticus the first Bible?
A:No. The Bible was not even a single book when first written, and none of the originals has survived to the present day. The Codex Sinaiticus is a manuscript copied in the fourth century. The word 'codex' means that it was written in leafed book form, as we invariably use today, as opposed to rolled-up scrolls.Codex Sinaiticus has the four New Testament gospels, Acts of the Apostles, fourteen Epistles attributed to Paul, including Hebrews, seven catholic Epistles, the Revelation of John, the 'Epistle of Barnabas' and the Shepherd of Hermas.As one of the very oldest surviving biblical manuscripts, it is important because it has Mark's Gospel finishing at verse 16:8, without 'Long Ending' that tells of the appearances of the risen Jesus.
Which is the oldest surviving manuscript of any part of the New Testament and what was it written on?

It consists of two very small patches of papyrus.
