I would prefer to say without Christ and His work there would be nothing to comment on. The gospels were being written during and after (John's) most of the epistles were written.
In the early church a congregation might have a copy of one gospel and 2 epistles. Or 3 epistles and no gospel. Things were more fluid then they are today.
