<\/a>\"\"<\/div>\n

In response to a question asked on the List-serv X-Talk<\/a>, I\u2019m sharing a review<\/a> I wrote of The Mutilation of Mark\u2019s Gospel<\/a>\"\" by N. Clayton Croy. In short, I found the suggestion that Mark\u2019s Gospel may have lost its original
beginning<\/i> as well as ending plausible, and certainly agree that the evidence points to Mark\u2019s Gospel having been originally intended continue beyond the abrupt ending found in our earliest Manuscripts.<\/p>\n

I am inclined to think (as I indicated in a post on my old blog site<\/a>) that the Gospel of Peter and the final chapter of the Gospel of John give us clues to how Mark\u2019s Gospel continued. Since the women said nothing to anyone (although presumably they did at some later point), the disciples returned to Galilee, to their earlier lives, and it was there and in that context that they had their experiences that persuaded them that Jesus was written. <\/p>\n

(The review starts on p.65 of the pdf file<\/a>).<\/p>\n
