Presenting the October 2023 installment of Born in the Second Century After Dark, an exploration of the Secret Gospel of Mark, and the arguments for and against its authenticity.
Note: The host reads Clement's Letter to Theodore in its entirety in this Episode. There are no chapter divisions available on the Patreon platform, so for reference, the timestamps for the reading are 8:57 to 14:20.
The host discusses topics of interest including: Bart Ehrman employing an argument from silence; the discovery of Secret Mark; the real reason why Morton Smith is often tagged as the forger; the Mystery at Mar Saba novel; the importance of Morton Salt in history; how Christianity got to Egypt; and the prominence and centrality of Mark's Gospel in this manuscript, which is incongruous for that era. In addition, Bart Ehrman employs an argument from silence.
