			Hi, just popping in for a quick favor if you don't mind.  I am looking for the dates as to when the books in the New Testament were written.  I thought it was like 200-300 years after Jesus was supposedly killed.  Any resources would be great.  Thanks!

			Oh, boy, no!  The last book of the Bible to be written was almost certainly completed by 150 AD, and probably more like c. 125 AD, less than 100 years after Jesus' alleged crucifixion.  You're probably thinking of the canonization of the New Testament books, which went on until c. 375 AD, depending on how you define its completion.
