When were the Apostle Paul's letters like Romans, Galatians, and Corinthians written?

Paul’s letters were not written until about 56–58 A.D. Galatians came earlier, about 60 A.D.; the Corinthian letters fall somewhere between, around 62 A.D.; Romans was written about 64 A.D. These four letters were composed during his missionary travels and journeys.

Les explains that none of these letters were written until about 56–58 A.D. He places Galatians earlier, about 60 A.D., the Corinthian letters somewhere between, around 62 A.D., and Romans about 64 A.D. He notes these four letters were written during Paul’s missionary travels. In that setting, Paul went first to the Jew and the synagogue in every city of import, expounding the Old Testament, because there was no New Testament yet. The Gospels had not been written until after Paul wrote his letters, so he had to speak the Word verbally, since nothing was written until he began his letters.
