Episode 132: The High Christology Of The Gospel Of Mark
Some skeptics of The Bible argue that the teaching that Jesus is God did not emerge until very late in the first century. Few skeptical New Testament scholars would deny that the gospel of John presents us with a divine Jesus. After all, not many (besides Arians and Jehovah's Witnesses) can read John 1 without seeing that Jesus is God, distinct from the Father, and is the Creator of all? But what about Mark's gospel? Whereas the latest gospel undoubtedly presents us with a divine Jesus, Mark's gospel, skeptics say, does not. Mark's gospel presents us with a merely human Jesus who is a prophet sent from God at best.
In this episode of The Cerebral Faith Podcast, I will argue that Mark presents us with a Jesus every bit as divine as John's gospel, and ergo, this evolving divinity hypothesis is false.
