Dates for all Bible books
What is a good resource which would provide a table or list of all Bible books and the dates they are estimated to have been written?
Format doesn't matter as much as content on this one for me.
Thanks.

Pat,
You may be aware that dating Old and New Testament books is a contentious issue. So there are widely varying suggestions as few of them can be precisely dated.
That said, you should have some timelines in your Logos Library. One is called 'Old Testament Books" the other "New Testament Books". Each covers the suggestions or estimates from a few different authors. That is a starting point.
Books on Biblical Introduction often deal with this issue.
The ESV Study Bible and others give estimates of the dates of writing of the books. The ESV Study Bible has a NT chart that includes this information.

Pat! *smile*
You will find it interesting and exciting to go to your library and to enter the word "timeline" (no quotation marks!) in your find box. I think you will discover quite a number of options there.
If you enter "type:timeline" (no quotation marks!) you will find a reduced number of resources, but perhaps more precisely what you're looking for if you are in a hurry.
Peace to you! And Joy in the Lord!
Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........

Mr. Murray, thanks so much. Found what I needed exactly.
Mr. Smith, thanks...yes, it is a subjective area at best, however, it is useful for those new to the Bible to have an idea for contextual sake to know the historical setting that the audience was in at the time of writing; so I seek to provide that to the extent I can give some general guidelines.
May the Lord take care of you both,
Pat

Here is a web site where the author has compiled a list of many scholars' estimates on dates of the OT books and dates of the NT books.

Dominick, that's quite a useful site by Dr. Burtner! Thanks for the pointer.

noticed your avatar...people are so happy when they have a Bible in their hands.
