The Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. was very important in the early church time period, and that the New Testament shows evidence of being written before that date.
The Apostle Paul wrote letters to the churches he had established during his missionary journeys. He also wrote several personal letters. They were written in many cases to answer questions they had and to remind them of what he had taught them. Remember, these were letters and they did not have chapters and verses. These were added many years later as an aid to study them. Also, Paul never knew he was writing part of the New Testament.
Dates and order of letters are best estimates.
