source: p. 259, Absolute Beginner's Guide to the Bible.
I chose this source because it gave the data in a timeline format. I think the dates are approximate, and there are others who would place the letters and gospels a little differently, but overall I think most would agree to this in general. Also, the specificity of the dates is not so clear - there's wiggle room!
