The First Letter Of Peter To The Churches Of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia
I believe the first letter of Peter, addressed to the churches at Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, was written in the year 64 AD, making it the twelfth letter in point of chronological order of the New Testament epistles. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: ”That Simon, called Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, was the writer of this epistle, is not questioned by any; nor was the genuineness and authenticity of it ever made a doubt of. Eusebius says, that it had been confessed by all, and received without controversy; and that the ancients, without any scruple, had made use of it in their writings. It is called his “general”, or catholic epistle, because it was not written to any particular…

The Second Letter Of Peter To The Churches Of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia
I believe this gospel record was written by John Mark, the nephew of Barnabas, son in the faith to the Apostle Peter and companion of Paul during his first evangelistic campaign. It is one of four inspired narratives recounting the earthly ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “This is the title of the book, the subject of which is the Gospel; a joyful account of the ministry, miracles, actions, and sufferings of Christ: the writer of it was not one of the twelve apostles, but an evangelist; the same with John Mark, or John, whose surname was Mark: John was his Hebrew name, and Mark his Gentile name, (Acts 12:12,25), and was Barnabas's sister's son, (Colossians 4:10),…

The Letter Of James To The Churches Of Jerusalem
I believe the letter of James, addressed to the churches at Jerusalem, was written between the years 44-49AD, making it the earliest epistle of the New Testament Scriptures. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. It mustn’t be thought that the congregation meeting at Jerusalem was one large mega-church, but rather, had naturally divided into dozens of local congregations, meeting in various houses, scattered throughout the city. James, therefore, was the pastor of one of these congregations, most probably of the original church organized by Christ during His earthly ministry. His letter, therefore, was sent as a circular epistle to the various congregations that had been organized in the general vicinity of Jerusalem.

33 Bible Reading – The Book Of 1 Kings
The time period covered by the book is around 120 years, from 1015 BC to 900 BC. There are 22 chapters, and it takes approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes to read in a single sitting. It is uncertain who it was that wrote the book, but it is traditionally believed Jeremiah was the author. If so, this means Jeremiah was responsible not only for the prophetic book which bears his name, and for the book of Lamentations, but also for this historic book of 1 Kings. We are certain, however, that this book is a divinely inspired piece of literature. That is, God breathed out His words through its author. The words of this book, therefore, are the words of God. They are able…
