"Tradition" declares it to be 96 AD or so. However, having said that, "Tradition" also declares the trinity, threrfore my automatic acceptence of "traditional" teachings, unless explicitly supported in the scriptures is not going to happen.
Since none of us here was alive then to know for sure, we must examine two things.
1.) Who decided the 96 AD writing and why was it accepted.
2.) Does the Bible demand an early (65 AD) or a later (96AD)
We should not accept or reject a notion based on the percent of people that believe it, because often times the majority is incorrect. Case in point...the trinity.
Lord bless.
