The New Testament is not chronological. I have found that studying the New Testament chronologically can be helpful.
- Read the gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles first, including the introductions.
- Read Paul's epistles next in chronological order.
- then go back and read Mark, Matthew, John and the rest of the New Testament.
- "The Book of Revelation or Book of the Apocalypse is the final book of the New Testament (and therefore the final book of the Christian Bible). ... Revelation was written in the 60s, as there was a widespread belief in later decades that Nero would return.[18][5] source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation

Apostle Paul's public ministry to the Gentiles spanned more than three decades. He wrote thirteen epistles that for two decades were the only writings available on christianity.
- Which epistle came first and where was Paul when he wrote it?
- Which one was last and where was it written?
- How was the last epistle different from the first one and all of the others in between?
