The Gospel On The Margins by Michael J. Kok
The Reception of Mark in the Second Century
A study of how the Gospel of Mark was received in the second century, arguing it initially held a marginal status compared to other gospels and only gradually gained authority through canon formation and association with Peter. Drawing on sources such as Papias, Irenaeus, anti-Marcionite prologues, gospel harmonies, and apocryphal writings, it traces shifting views of authorship, audience, and theological value. It shows how debates over heresy and the emergence of a fourfold Gospel reshaped its place in early Christian communities.
