Will be interesting to see what he says. I should mention I am aware of some 
references that at least some scholars believe go back that far, but they are 
minuscule and the dating is guesswork. It seems there were some Christian hymns 
that made it into Epistles, and the hymns themselves (not the Epistles as a 
whole) are probably that old.
