but this early dating is internal from what the epistles themselves and Acts says alone
they smell later
what is the terminus ad quem? pretty late
i think something around 100 though
enough time to exist prior to a long lived Marcion to collect them up would be pretty generous
as a development of an earlier form of Christianity the author needed an earlier apostle to support him, so we get a window into the development of Christianity from the previous form(s) which existed already and had gospels, etc.
