(1508)(1532)

The traditional dating in the Douay-Rheims-Challoner version, in its introductions to the Gospels, has Matthew about 36; Mark about 40; Luke about 54; John about 93. That’s safe for Roman Catholics.

“The Orthodox Church views the Bible as the divinely inspired Word of God and a foundational record of divine revelation, yet it is not the sole authority, acting as part of a larger Holy Tradition. It must be read with the “mind of the Church,” avoiding private interpretation in favor of the consensus of Church Fathers and Councils.”

Protestant denominations, the traditional ones, not cults, tend more to solo scriptura but dates are debated. In August, 2009, on a website later stolen by blgr ggl in July, 2024, quite a few theologians were coming around to there being no choice but to date far earlier than modernists.

John A. T. Robinson has all four gospels before 60, with various books/treatises devoted to why those dates. I archived these dates, minus explanations, here:

It shows an emerging Christology around 20 or so years after death/resurrection, placing it before AD70. One thing fairly clear is that interpretations of scripture need to be seen in the light of scholars, councils, creeds over the first centuries, incorporating the above.
