The Date of Mark's Gospel apart from the Temple and Rumors of War: The Taxation Episode (12:13-17) as Evidence
It is difficult to determine a precise date for the composition of the Gospel of Mark, even if it is widely believed to have been written during the decade spanning 64-73 c.e. I suggest in this article that the academic disagreement is due to heavy reliance on Mark's ambiguous temple-and-war pa...

Summary: | It is difficult to determine a precise date for the composition of the Gospel of Mark, even if it is widely believed to have been written during the decade spanning 64-73 c.e. I suggest in this article that the academic disagreement is due to heavy reliance on Mark's ambiguous temple-and-war passages (esp. 13:1 -23), which can be read realistically in disparate historical contexts. 1 propose to supplement such work with an examination of the taxation episode (12:13-17), a pericope with subtle indicators of Mark's historical context, including geopolitical administration, coinage circulation, and tax policies. I suggest that these data cumulatively indicate that the Gospel of Mark was not written earlier than 29 August 71 c.e. |
