In this context, Christian scriptures means the New Testament books, rather than the books of the Old Testament. Most biblical scholars accept that the Gospel According to St Mark was the first written of the four canonical Gospels, and that it was written around 70 CE.

Some other Christian scriptures were probably written prior to the gospels, most notably Paul's epistles. Paul is believed to have written the epistles in the 50s CE, but they may have been somewhat earlier.

The Epistle to the Hebrews was probably also written well before 70 CE.

The earliest layers of some other New Testament books may have been written long before the time of Paul's epistles.
