As commonly interpreted, this passage places the Epistle after the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70. It also places the Epistle before the Bar Kochba Revolt of AD 132, after which there could have been no hope that the Romans would help to rebuild the temple. The document must therefore come from the period between the two Jewish revolts. Attempts at identifying a more precise date are conjectures. The "Encyclopædia Britannica" puts the latest possible date at AD 130. and for the actual date of composition gives ""circa" AD 100". Its 1911 edition opted strongly for "the reign of Vespasian (AD 70-79)", shortly after the "Catholic Encyclopedia" had preferred AD 130−131 in an article by Paulin Ladeuze, and AD 96−98 in an article by John Bertram Peterson. On a more precise dating within the limits associated with the Jerusalem temple there is thus an "absence of scholarly consensus".
