Canon Dates
For the New Testament

It is the belief of the Apostolic Messianic Fellowship that all of the books of the New Testament were written before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.  One of the reasons for this position, is that nothing so great and dreadful would have been missed by the writers had they written after that horrible clamity. Here is a starting document on canon...note that Marcion is usually considered 'heretical' but even so, the books he quotes and confirms indicates an early use and circulation of certain writings.  That does not mean the others did not exist, just that he did not have them all, but that he did at least possess these.
Some canon lists from early times:
