The Date Of Mark's Gospel by F.H. Crossley
Insight from the Law in Earliest Christianity
A reexamination of when the second Gospel was written, arguing from its treatment of the Jewish law—especially food purity, Sabbath, and divorce—that it reflects a law‑observant environment before the major Gentile mission and ensuing Torah controversies. It challenges the common assumption that references to the Temple’s destruction require a post‑70 date, contending instead that the text does not abrogate kosher laws and plausibly fits an early 40s context. The study integrates close textual analysis with historical and social considerations to propose a significantly earlier composition than the scholarly consensus.
