Overview

Few works have gazed on the Marcan topic with as much a detail as this one. The tradition on the origin and authorship of the second Gospel looms up from the shadows in southern central Anatolia, closing the first third of the first century AD, pointing out the relation of Mark, one of the most consistent secondary figures of the New Testament, and Peter the apostle. In no more than fifty years, tradition will stress the link of Mark's work with the imperial see, Rome. Nieto Zahino's monograph takes pains to submit all the available diagnostic material in the Marcan tradition from the first century to the early third century AD to unceasing examination, presenting the reader with historical, archaeological, geographical, grammatical, and codicological approximations while surveying afresh three of the chief candidates for the critical reconstruction of the second Gospel: Rome, Jewish Palestine, and the especial blend between the former two that once existed, Caesarea Maritima. More than an autopsy over a dead document, Nieto Zahino's analysis returns us to the living force of Scripture, an odyssey through ancient Christianity that will not leave the heart of the most exigent scholars untouched.
