Studies in the Gospel of Mark

Viac o knihe

The book presents a compelling argument for the traditional views regarding the origins of the Gospel of Mark, asserting that it reflects the teachings of Peter as conveyed through Mark, written in Rome around AD 69. Professor Hengel emphasizes the reliability of Papias' account and examines the early attachment of titles to the Gospels as evidence of their authenticity. An appendix by Wolfgang Schadewaldt further supports Hengel's claims about the reliability of the Synoptic tradition, challenging more radical interpretations within New Testament scholarship.
