About this video
Runtime: 47 minsPaula Gooder discusses the gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is widely believed to be the first written among the four gospels, influencing Matthew and Luke. Scholars suggest Matthew and Luke had access to Mark's writings due to similarities in their narratives. The dating of Mark's Gospel is debated, with a broad range between 67-73 AD, centred around the Jewish War and the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Mark's Gospel is characterized by its brevity, immediacy, and detailed storytelling. Unlike Matthew and Luke, Mark’s theology is conveyed through narrative, emphasizing responses to Jesus from the scribes, crowds, and disciples. Mark begins abruptly and ends suddenly at 16:8, prompting discussions about its intended conclusion.
