Excerpt from History of the Sacred Scriptures of the New Testament, Vol. 2 of 2
As to the remaining writings, not only is all proof from the period under consideration of their use for regular public reading lacking, but almost all evidence of their existence. Cf. §287. Even in Pliny's letter to Trajan (x. 97) there is nothing said of public readings. It is also natural that some writings should have come into circulation more slowly than others; this appears to have been the case with the books of Luke as compared with those of Matthew and Mark; certainly with the Epistle of James and the first of Peter, not to mention here others (of doubtful origin).
