The date of Mark's Gospel insight from the law in earliest Christianity

This book argues that MarkGÇÖs gospel was not written as late as c. 65GÇô75 CE, but dates from sometime between the late 30s and early 40s CE. It challenges the use of the external evidence (such as Irenaeus and Clement of Alexandria) often used for dating Mark, relying instead on internal evidence from the gospel itself. James Crossley also questions the view that Mark 13 reflects the Jewish war, arguing that there are other plausible historical settings. Crossley argues that MarkGÇÖs gospel takes for granted that Jesus fully observed biblical law and that Mark could only make such an assumpti.

  • "Challenging the view that Mark was written as late as 65-75 CE, James Crossley argues instead for a date thirty years earlier, basing this conclusion on the internal evidence supplied by the gospel itself. After a concise overview of the external evidence, The Date of Mark's Gospel goes on to critically examine the arguments which place the writing of Mark around the time of the Jewish war, suggesting alternative historical contexts. This leads to a discussion of modern literary criticism of the gospel as a whole, outlining the main approaches and their protagonists. Crossley then shows that while the synoptic gospels all portray Jesus as a law-observant Jew, Mark in particular writes assuming that he observed biblical law fully. Arguing that such an assumption could only be made at a time when Christianity was largely law observant, the author offers a comprehensive examination of the evidence on laws provided in the gospel, concluding that this dates the composition of Mark to no later than the mid-40s."@en
