There is no scholarly consensus on the date of composition of the latest New Testament texts. John A. T. Robinson, Dan Wallace, William F. Albright, Maurice Casey, and James Crossley all dated many or all of the books of the New Testament before 70 AD.[131][132][133] Jonathan Bernier's recent argument for early dates has enjoyed a positive reception, with endorsements from Chris Keith and Anders Runesson, among others.[134] Many other scholars, such as Bart D. Ehrman and Stephen L. Harris, date some New Testament texts much later than this;[135][136][137] Richard Pervo dated Luke–Acts to c.115 AD,[42] and David Trobisch places Acts in the mid-to-late second century, contemporaneous with the publication of the first New Testament canon.[43] Whether the Gospels were composed before or after 70 AD, according to Bas van Os, the lifetime of various eyewitnesses that includes Jesus's own family through the end of the First Century is very likely statistically.[138] Markus Bockmuehl finds this structure of lifetime memory in various early Christian traditions.[139]
