UPDATE: I had an article (mentioned below) come to my attention today, and since I saw that the date was February 24th, I missed that it was February 24th 2012. So there is no new news – although we should still hope that the fragment will be published! Perhaps we should mark each anniversary of the promise of imminent publication, until it is realized?
ORIGINAL POST:
Many of us have been waiting for further news about the fragment of the Gospel of Mark which Daniel Wallace claims can be dated with confidence to the first century. There is now an update, in an interview he did with Hugh Hewitt. From what he says, it sounds like the book is still being worked on, and due diligence is being done in terms of consulting with paleographers to get second and third opinions about the date.
For now, all we can do is wait. But it is certainly something to keep an eye on, which will get a lot of discussion and analysis once the book is finally published.
