Some other biases against Mark included: Mark is an indirect witness, and therefore, less important than Matthew and John; It has little material of its own; It is the shortest of the gospels; does not show any theological development (Luke deepens in mercy, Matthew in the expected Messiah, John in Christology). These views changed radically in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when Mark came to be viewed as the first Gospel written and so of significant historical value. Mark was now considered the oldest of the Gospels with few interpretations of the editor and would subsequently turn into a historical source closer to the facts. In recent years, scholars have come to appreciate Mark’s Gospel as a unique literary work with its own narrative structure, theological themes, and Christological purpose. The Gospel reveals a fascinating and unique portrait of Jesus, an important contribution to the Church’s understanding of Jesus the Messiah and the Son of God.
In what follows we shall attempt a summary of the basic historical, literary and theological questions around the Gospel according to Mark.
