I did a video on this.

It simply puts a timeline on a chart.

But, since I am not allowed to post links until I have been here for 30 days ...
if anyone wants to see it they will have to search YouTube for:

"Was Jesus a myth" by Scott Savage.

I checked out your video Scott and I think it is well done.  So I will post it for you,  this should be seen.

It is interesting how Early Christian literature did not start until the latter part of the 1st Century CE, well after the death of a supposed Jesus of Nazareth.  I wrote an essay about Early Christian History for myself to organize what I had read about the subject.  I did a cursory chart of all the extant Christian literature, tried to find it earlier but as of yet not put my hand on it.  Might have to do another one.  In any case I would like to post it in this thread.

John Romer's "Testament: The Bible and History" is a good source (the documentary vid and book) for how Judaism and Christianity evolved.  Here is a 12 minute clip from an episode about Christian literature:

Testament: The Bible And History, Episode 4 Gospel Truth? (part 2, 1 of 2):

Of course we should remember that there was a lot, a LOT of literature flying around the Early Christian communities of the Mediterranean during the latter part of the 1st and early part of the 2nd Centuries CE.  It was not until Marcion that an actual formal grouping, or canon, of any New Testament was ever organized (in 144 CE); he called it the Gospel of the Lord, we know it today as the Gospel of Marcion.  Marcion was excommunicated from the Roman Church for his efforts: Marcion of Sinope, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcion_of_Sinope
