The books of the Bible were written over a period of over a millennium and a half, with the oldest parts composed around 1500-1400 BC and the most recent from the late first century AD. These books cover the entire span of time from the creation of the universe to its final consummation — but most focus on roughly the period of their composition.
If you want to get more precise, though, it's important to understand that the process of dating books of the Bible involves a bit (or a lot) of guesswork. |
