score:7
Accepted answer
The last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, was written about 443 B.C. The first book of the New Testament, Matthew, was written about 40 A.D. leaving a 500 year gap between the Old and New Testament books.
Second would be Joshua (~1450 BC) and Judges (written by Samuel ~1100 BC)
