The oldest book in the New Testament is the Epistle to the Hebrews. The letters of Paul, the book of James, and the Gospel of Mark are also considered relatively old.
As with the Old Testament, the chapter and verse divisions of the various books are not original, but were added in medieval times for greater understanding. But the term "New Testament" was first coined (in Latin) around A.D. 200, by the theologian Tertullian, who was the first biblical scholar to write in Latin.
