That’s literally 75 years after the fact. Scholar put Mathew between 80 and 110 years after the fact so a century as I correctly pointed.
I understand you don’t like being faced with the fact that the gospels were written with a clear political agenda long after what they depict and that the canon is mostly an exercise in late Roman politics. The fact remains.
- throwawaygal7 5y agoOne of us must be using a different form of math - I take 66 AD, subtract 33 AD and get a mere 33 years You can try to push out mathew to 110 but it gets kinda tough....if there is that much of a gap between mark and mathew why do we have lots of mathean quotes in the early church and virtually none from mark? Kinda stretches credulity, for me at least. I feel that if Mark really did enjoy a lengthy period as the of extant gospel it should have acquired a sort of prominence.

- Amezarak 5y agoCan you elaborate on this? I had no idea that a date of roughly 33AD was controversial, and Wikipedia seems to say that the consensus is that 30AD or 33AD are when the later events of the gospels occurred. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_of_Jesus#Chronology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_of_Jesus#Chronolog... When I google Colin Humphreys, he seems to be a physicist who dabbles in bible studies. According to Wikipedia, his argument was that the Last Supper occurred on a Wednesday instead of a Thursday, not that he disagreed with anyone about the year.
