Jesus: The Ultimate Controversy
“11) Delayed Documentation
The accounts of Jesus’s life in the gospels were written well after the events allegedly occurred. The crucifixion of Jesus is believed to have occurred around 29 AD. The best estimates date the gospels as follows:
Mark: AD 68-73
Matthew: AD 70-100
Luke: AD 80-100
John: AD 90-110
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel#Dating
The time lag between the events and the documentation was long enough for exaggeration and myths to contaminate the historical accounts. Almost every person who had direct contact with Jesus was dead by the time that the Gospels were written. It would be similar if a person today wrote a biography of Martin Luther King just by talking to people who heard something about him from their now-deceased ancestors.”
