Summary/Abstract: It is generally admitted today that between the teaching and the acts of Jesus and their recording in the books of the New Testament, there existed a time of the kerigmat of the apostles and the catechesis of the first Christian communes. Currently this period is divided into three stages: 1 - the words of Jesus and his acts, 2 - the testimony of the apostles as witnesses of what Jesus said and what he did, 3 - the writing in writing of New Testament canon books. The oldest are the epistles of St. Paul. The great epistles of Paul and the prison letters were composed between 51 and 63 AD. The pastoral epistles date from 63-67 AD. The epistle to the Hebrews whose stranger remains unknown although it was inspired was written a few years before the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. Today's form of the synoptic gospels dates from the years 65-85 AD. In this time it is necessary to locate the Acts of the Apostles of Saint Luke. John's writings were written at the end of the first century AD. The Catholic Epistles - James; 1-2 Peter; Jude - also date from the end of the first century. However, it is admitted that 2P and the Epistle of Jude were written between the Apostolic Church and the Church Fathers.
