The commentator on the version I have puts the date of them no later then 300 A.D. (vol 14 of the Nicene and post Nicene Fathers.) I think I found a link for ya. http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf214.xvii.iii.htmlhttp://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf214.html I can't speak for what any churches think of them?
