The epistles of Paul are generally dated to the 50s of the first century CE, with Hebrews possibly a little earlier. The gap is just over two hundred years.
B:No. It was over 400 years. The Intertestamental Period covers the span between the final prophet mentioned in the Old Testament (Malachi, about 450 B.C.) and the birth of Christ (about 4 B.C.).
The books of the New Testament were written over a period of approximately one hundred years. The most important events, recorded in the gospels, occupied a period of no more than three years. The Old Testament was written over a period of several centuries, from the ninth century to the second century BCE. It reports events said to have taken place over a period of some four thousand years.
The interbiblical period, also known as the Intertestamental period, refers to the time between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament, approximately 400 years of history not covered by the biblical texts. It was a time of significant cultural, political, and religious developments that influenced the worldviews and beliefs of various religious groups in the ancient Near East.
The Bible was written over a period of about 5,000 years. The Old Testament, before Christ, was written by several prophets between approximately 3,000 BC- 1,000 BC. The New Testament, after Christ's birth, was written in the hundred years or so after Christ's death, mostly by His disciples. There isn't really a definite date, it's spread out :)
We can not be certain exactly how long the New Testament took to write. Paul's earliest epistles are commonly dated to perhaps the late 40s. while Hebrews could be even earlier. Some of the other epistles could contain material written well before 30 CE. Probably the last book in the New Testament to be completed is Second Peter, which some scholars date to between 120 and 150 CE. Thus, the New Testament spans a period of around one hundred years.
400 years approximately
The period of 400 years during which God did not speak is often referred to as the "silent years" between the Old Testament and the New Testament. This time frame is not explicitly stated in a specific verse, but it encompasses the period from the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, to the beginning of the New Testament. This gap highlights the prophetic silence before the arrival of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.

Opinion The 400 years period is the approximate period of silence between the time of Malachi (circa 430 BCE) and the New Testament period. In Malachi 3:1, it is written that a messenger will prepare the way, which according to Christian tradition is John the Baptist as described in the New Testament. The time period between Malachi and John the Baptist is roughly 400 years.
A period of 100 years is a century
It is disputable whether the period was really as much as 400 years, since the Book of Daniel is believed to have been written during the second century BCE. However, this period is called the intertestamental period.Several of the deuterocanonical books, accepted as scripture by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, were also written during this period.
The 400 years between the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are called in the Intertestamental Period. During that time, the Maccabean Revolt happened and the Roman Empire came into power in the region.
