If you mean "officially compiled", about 400 years.

Answer 2

Good question, Alberto:

And I'll assume you are talking about the New Testament because the Writings of Moses predates the Christian era by 2,000 years.

If I recall correct, Mark wrote the first Gospel after spending missionary time with Peter. Then as the disciples aged, they they wrote their account. John was written last to fill in loose ends. Then Revelation/Apocolipsis was written around AD 93 when John was exiled on an island (Patmos).

Paul obviously wrote his Epistles before his execution by Nero, about AD 65.

These writings were copied and circulated widely among the Christian community, then called a Catholic (universal)Church--Not Roman at that time with headquarters in Jerusalem (Acts 15).

Within a couple centuries many false writings appeared that caused confusion. So, Eusebius, a well educated historian and curator of the school/religious library at Ceasarea drew from his archives and read sermons by the first biships of the Christian church. He listed what is know as the "cannon" or accepted line of authentic writings.

If the early writers did not quote a manuscript, it was thrown out. Then he compiled them in the order of popularity by those bishops; in other words, Acts was quoted most, then Romans, then Corinthians. Interestingly, Hebrews is a long book but it is found close to the back of the N.T. That is because it was not quoted much.

By the way, Eusebius quotes an early source saying that Hebrews was authored by Paul in the Jewish language, and translated into Greek by Dr. Luke.

Now, Eusebius was told to translate 50 Bibles for Constantine the Great. So that would have been our first complete Bible. Sometime later, Jerome Eusebius translated a Latin Bible. Catholics say this is the first Bible--I don't think so, only first Catholic Bible. And many other Bibles found their way among the Greecian Empire.

When you take every available manuscript with various additions and subtractions, and compare them, THEY ALL SAY JESUS IS LORD AND MESSIAH. And that message is loud and clear in over 2,000 different translations today.

Yes, God has protected His word, and He left a Bible code for skeptics--their last chance, you might say. www.revelado.org/revealed.htm

Hope this helps your question, Alberto.

Answer 3

The common understanding by conventional bible scholars is that all of the Gospels were completed before 70 AD. Some of the epistles are earlier.

The gospel of Matthew may have been completed as early as the year 40.

The book of revelation may have been completed some time after the gospels, but before about 90 AD.

The pre 70 AD gospel dating is based in part on the fact that there is no mention of the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem, in any of the gospels.

This was the definitive "end of the world" for the Jews, and it's hard to believe that any of the inspired writers would have failed to write of it, at least in some way.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I understand that the New Testament Gospels were written by either first hand witnesses of Christ and his resurrection or, written by authors who personally obtained information from first hand witnesses. These writtings would have been first written within the first 60 years or so of His death and resurrection. The first actual Bible and subsequent reproductions began in the 3rd or 4th century.

Answer 6

the recent testomony Bible replaced into written from the forties advert to around ninety 5 advert in step with products of scripture and different writing from the early 2d century advert. the clarification no one took the time to place in writing them formerly replaced into by way of fact the Apostles and disciples nevertheless that Jesus would return interior of a few a protracted time after his Ascension. while he did not return, they desperate to place in writing down the Gospels. Paul and others letters or epistles, as they have been called, have been written by way of fact the disciples preached the forged information. Godspeed.

Answer 7

It was compiled during the Raine of Constantine, there were literally hundreds of stories written on scrolls, there are 66 books that were put into the bible.

Answer 8

The new testament books were written at various times, 30, 60, 90 years after He rose again. Some earlier, not much; some later. All in about a hundred year period.

And don't believe any nonsense about it not being reliable. The spirit of God, that inspired those who wrote, is not limited by time.

Answer 9

Most of the Bible was written before the Incarnation.

Answer 10

The bible has 66 books in it written over 1600 years. No book in the history of man has been a bestseller for that long of a period and then some. It is most definitely the word of God. Jesus is Lord.

Answer 11

Well first of all the Bible wasn't just written all at once. They were scrolls written on papyrus paper and handed from church to church...They were more like compiled and that was during the reign of constatine.
