I believe most of the gospels of the New Testament were written well after the crucifiction. I am sure someone here can give a concrete answer for about when each were written. I believe the first gospel to be scribed was around 60-100 years after Jesus died. All of them were passed by word of mouth generation by generation, not unlike any ancient folklore.
im actually interested in this topic, ive always wanted to know why they waited so long. is there any specific reason? im guessing its because back in those days there were so many illiterate people.

Whats the name of the guy on this forum who knows a lot about christianity? Im sure he might know (and if he's reading this right now, can you please kindly post a few relevant quotes from the bible so that i can learn, rather than just repeating what other people say)
The name of the person you're looking for is Abel. As for answers, you can go to www.AlwaysBeReady.com. Check out this dvd called, Answers to Skeptics' Top Five Questions. I found it a very interesting video. Hope this helps to guide you to OUR LORD and SAVIOR. GOD Bless You & Yours
