Dating the Gospels — pre-70 AD arguments deserve more weight than commonly given

A viewer asks whether most NT historians date all four Gospels to around 70 AD or later.

Mike notes that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are not all dated identically — John is typically the latest, Mark the earliest. He observes that reasons for post-70 AD dating all cluster into a single type of argument, and pre-70 AD reasons also cluster together. A single assumption shift can move the Gospels back 30 years — a significant difference. He raises 1 Timothy quoting Luke as one piece of evidence for earlier dating.
