Why is the gospel attributed to "Mark"? | N.T. Wright Online

[@duncescotus2342]

The Marcan hypothesis. All the smarties say so. The problem I have with it is this--Mark is terse. Matthew and Luke add things, hardly ever omitting things, though there are things Mark says and no other. This implies that the other Gospel chroniclers had more knowledge than Mark, but needed his outline to jog their memories. It's the logic of a person with a chaise, not a prie dieu. But Bishop Wright walks us through this theory as a man of God should, saying, it's a theory.

That actually makes sense that theyd need a source to jog there memory due to it being a while after jesus

It was called mark because it was either written, collected or redacted by marcion..😅 The father of the new testament canon
