Beginnings of Christianity Timeline

Beginnings of Christianity Timeline

Recently I’ve been reading a few books on first century Christianity, including The Church of Rome in the First Century by George Edmundson and Redating Matthew, Mark,& Luke by John Wenham. The dating of the various events of the first century is notoriously difficult, especially the dating of New Testament writings. Most modern scholars try to date writings as late as possible, often in an effort to distance them from the “original” Christianity immediately following the life of Christ.

But I believe those proposed dates are faulty, so I decided to put together my own timeline of the events and writings of the time frame ranging from 30 A.D. to 70 A.D.

Enjoy!
