In fact, there is lots of internal evidence that the author or authors were not Mark himself.<BR/><BR/>It is irrelevant whether or not Mark authorised the way his Gospel ends. That would be pure conjecture anyway, something you don't appear to like. The fact is that the Church authorised the way the Gospel ends, as it authorised the entire contents of the New Testament.<BR/><BR/>I have no objection to the ending of the Gospel and, as you say, it is "Gospel" in the sense that it portrays the Easter message, but it is not Mark's Gospel. What interested me was the intriguing way that the Marcan part of the Gospel ends.<BR/><BR/>If you don't like scholarship I am sorry, but I will continue to use it to explore the message of scripture.<BR/>--METHODISTBISHOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792948847625892567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20238715.post-1145189237175992642006-04-16T13:07:00.000+01:002006-04-16T13:07:00.000+01:00Found via Wesley Daily - excellent post.
