When was the second gospel written?
There is strong evidence that the first gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, was written within two or three years of the year 70 CE. The second gospel, Matthew's Gospel is widely believed to have been written around 85 CE, although Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) suggests an allowance of about ten years either way.
Was the first gospel written between 60 and 70 AD?
Yes, scholars generally agree that the Gospel of Mark was likely written between 60 and 70 AD. This dating is based on an analysis of the content and historical context within the text.
When did Secret Gospel of Mark die?

Does a man need a license to preach the Gospel in Pennsylvania?
No, you do not. Multiple church denominations will issue a license to those within their folds, but anyone who has the desire to preach the Gospel (Good News of Jesus Christ) can preach the Gospel in Pennsylvania. In fact, none of the New Testament disciples where licensed to preach the Gospel. Licensing to preach the Gospel is a man made or created requirement that is not only unnecessary, but ridiculous as well. If God gives one the passion or desire to preach the Gospel, then he must preach the Gospel. Otherwise he may end up inside a whale! Read the book of Jonah and see what happened to a man who rejected God calling to preach.
What is the context of the Gospel of Mark?
Although not at first apparent, the context of Mark's Gospel was the First Jewish War and the destruction of the Temple. There had been no gospel written in the decades since the time of Jesus, but scholars say that this gospel was written within about two years either side of the year 70 CE, when the Romans entered Jerusalem. The apocalyptic material in Mark was the consequence of the civil war in Jerusalem and the terrible destruction that eventuated.
In what place and language was the gospel of John written?
The Gospel of John was written in Greek Koine, the language of the eastern Roman empire. It is believed to have been written early in the second century within a Christian community now known as the Johannine community, although there was probably no formal connection with the apostle John. The community is likely to have been located somewhere around modern-day Syria. Burton L Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) believes that a split took place in the Johannine community shortly after John's Gospel was written, resulting in some of the original material being amended.
What is the teachings of the gospel of St Thomas?
The Gospel of St. Thomas is a non-canonical text that contains sayings attributed to Jesus.

Who wrote the Gospel of John and the three epistles of John were written by?
The Gospel of John is traditionally attributed to the Apostle John, one of Jesus' disciples. The three epistles of John are also traditionally believed to have been written by the same author, although the identity of the author is not explicitly mentioned within the texts themselves.

What was the culture of John the gospel writer?
Scholars say that John's Gospel was written within a closed community now known as the 'Johannine community' from the tradition that the Gospel was written by the apostle John. The location of this community is unknown, but some scholars believe that it was a mildly Gnostic community. They say that after the community split, which can be identified in the Epistles of John, part of the community joined a more centrist branch of Christianity and modified John's Gospel to remove much of the Gnostic content. The other part of the community probably joined a more Gnostic branch of Christianity, but its version of the Gospel has been lost to us. The members of the Johannine community were probably relatively well-to-do, based on John's emphasis on the rich and poweful friends of Jesus.
Was John's Gospel intended for believers or non-believers or both?
A:Christian tradition says that the fourth gospel was written by the apostle John, who would have been writing largely for non-believers, but also for believers. Many Christians are surprised to learn that John was not really the author of the Gospel that now bears his name, but that it was written anonymously and only attributed to John later in the second century, after having been attributed to at least one other possible author.A study of the text shows that John's Gospel was actually written within an existing Christian community, now known as the Johannine community because of the subsequent tradition associating it with John, for the members of that community. The community would certainly have welcomed converts, but this gospel seems to have been written for believers.
