The books are arranged traditionally according to page length. So here is the best guess for the sequence in which they were authored (click picture for full size).
http://narrowpathhosting.com/index.php/Blog/Bible/Chonological-Order-of-the-New-Testament.html is the source for this detail and the table, but it comes from
Slightly adapted from Robert H. Gundry, A Survey of the New Testament, 3rded. (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994), 480-481. This chart has been modified some according to my own reading.
Quoting the source webpage: This chart does not give dates as certainties. It is for your personal use and benefit only. Many of the dates listed above are based on a series of conclusions, which are in turn based on partial data. Many scholars, even within conservative, Evangelical circles disagree with the precise ordering given above. This area of discussion is one where charity, grace, and humility are called for above all.
