The gospels were all written after 104 A.D. and the publication of the first latin Vulgate bibles by St. Jerome. Jerome had compiled all of the original story books together before the new books were 'found'. The old testiment as it appears today is almost entirely composed of books written before the gospels appeared. Notably, the first five books of the christian bible are descended from the Jewish Torah and book of laws (leviticus) which predate 100 B.C.

It is just as unrealistic to place the authorship of the gospels too late, as it is to place them too early. After much analysis, scholars have concluded that the first gospel to be written was Mark's Gospel, and that it was written approximately 70 CE. All Paul's authentic epistles (Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians) were written well before this date, as probably was the Book of Hebrews. The Epistle of James may also have been written earlier than Mark.
