New Testament Begins

Sybilline Oracles and various Apocalyptic writing famous and widely read during this era, for example 1 Enoch. The Assumption of Moses is one of the last to be written during Jesus Christ's time on earth before the crucifixion. An interesting perspective on the role of John the Forerunner is found here, who marks the end of old covenant prophets and inaugurates the new covenant prophets. https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2016/01/07/100109-synaxis-of-the-holy-glorious-prophet-forerunner-and-baptist-john for more on Tradition as a source for compiling texts from the 1st century and beyond see https://blogs.ancientfaith.com/wholecounsel/2018/02/07/new-testament-tradition/
