Apostles Books
Out of the twelve Apostles we only have six whose books were canonized.
Matthew = Matthew - A.D. 55
Mark = John Mark - A.D. 50
John = John - A.D. 90
James = James - A.D. 45
1 Peter, 2 Peter = Peter - A.D. 60
1 John, 2 John, 3 John = John - A.D. 90
Jude = Jude - A.D. 60
Revelation = John - A.D. 90
Apparently our forefathers did not think the other six, Andrew, Bartholomew, Philip, Thaddaeus, Thomas and Simon had anything worthy to say to be added to the canon.
I realized the forefathers pick and choose only the ones that had to do with salvation, but wouldn’t you like to read their books also since they walk, talked, eat and sleep with our L-rd? There are books out there in the Apocrypha and lost books of the Bible but we are chastised if we read them by ministers, thinking they have noting to say.
