The witness of the New Testament is clear. The central person of the twenty seven books is Jesus the Messiah. All the New Testament is based on eye witness testimony about the person and work of Jesus Christ including his resurrection from the dead. In addition all the particular works of the New Testament: Gospels, Acts, the letters and Revelation were completed before the end of the first century and all were written by the Apostles or by men who were under the oversight or direction of the Apostles.
