Matthew
Matthew is mentioned in the Epistle of the Smyrnaeans by Ignatius of Antioch dating about A.D. 110. This would place its writing before this period. The book would be dated somewhere between A.D. 55 and A.D. 70. Critical scholars date it after A.D. 70 basing their judgments on the assumption that Jesus could not have predicted the future destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. There is no good reason to doubt that Matthew wrote the book between A.D. 55-70 from Antioch in Syria.
