James was the first Book of the New Testament. Being the half-brother of Jesus, and later a leader of the Christian Jews, James was led to understand a certain truth that he had to address the local faithful about. That certain truth in found in the words of the book of James.
Galatians, written around 48-49 A.D. by Paul, is widely considered the earliest book of the New Testament. Also, Thessalonians 1, written by Paul around 50 A.D. is considered to be one of the earliest books of the New Testament (and some scholars consider it to be the earliest).
Paul's letters are likely the earliest writings included in the New Testament.
The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke are considered to have been written shortly after 70 A.D. when the Jewish Temple was destroyed by the Romans. Mark is considered by many to have been written first with Matthew and Luke expanding upon his work, although a few scholars agree with Christian tradition which places Matthew as the first gospel written.
Revelations is most likely the last book of the New Testament, not only in terms of the order in which it appears, but also in terms of its proposed dating.
