Were the New Testament gospels written in the second century?

Why are there no writers or historians from the first century who mention Jesus or Christianity? Why are there no Church Fathers or apologists from the first century either? Why are there no fragments of scripture from the New Testament gospels that can be dated any earlier than the second century? The Spiritual Messiah: A Skeptical Analysis of the New Testament Gospels provides a comprehensive analysis of all four gospels to consider these questions and more. This book presents compelling evidence in a manner that is both informative and accessible in order to challenge the historicity of Jesus and to substantiate the claim that Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John were not written until over a hundred years after his alleged ministry and crucifixion.
