===New Testament history===

The New Testament was largely completed by A.D. 60.  The oldest fragment of which there is a reliable date is the John Rylands Fragment (P52) of the ''Gospel of John'', dating from 117-138 A.D., just decades from when the Gospel was first written.  The time span between the writing of the New Testament and the oldest surviving fragments are well under two hundred years.  By comparison, Greek classics such as Herodotus, Plato, Euripedes, and Homer have a time span well over a thousand years each between the date of the oldest known fragment of writing and the actual date they were first written.
