I am curious what was written when in the bible and by who. Is there a list of dates?
I am most interested in what was written after Jesus's death?
Also when was the NT made into the NT?

The books of the New Testament were written between about 50 and 90 AD. The last books to be written were by the Apostle John, in the 90s. There is a list of dates in any study Bible. The first Gospel to be written was the gospel of Matthew, in Aramaic, then Mark. Luke was the third, and is continued in the Book of Acts. John was written much later, in the 90s, after there had been more time to interpret the events and begin to develop a liturgy. Paul's ministry started in 34 AD, His letters, Thessalonians, 50- 51 AD, 1 and 2Corinthians, 57AD, Galatians, Romans, 57-58 AD. Philippians, 57 AD, Ephesians, Colossi ans, Philemon, 61-63 AD, 1and 2 Timothy, and Titus, 65 AD, Hebrews, 67 AD, were written to the early Christian communities to address particular circumstances and problems that they were having. Revelations was written by John or one of his disciples, was written either during the reign or Domitian,about 95 AD, or possibly during the reign of Nero, around 70 AD. The remaining books, are letters written to all Christians, and are eponymous, meaning the name of the book is the same as the name of the author. James was likely the first of them, written not by the disciple, but by "James the brother of the Lord (Matt.13:55) in either 49AD, or 57/58AD, Jude,the brother of James, between 70 and 80AD, 1Peter around the time of his death, 64 or 67 AD, and 2 Peter may have been written about the same time, although some think is was a posthumous collection put together shortly after his death by Silvanus. ALL OF THEM WERE WRITTEN YEARS AFTER JESUS' DEATH AND RESURRECTION. The previous answerer is correct about when they were officially made canonical, but they were accepted by the seven apostolic churches long before then.
