Presenting the May 2023 installment of Born in the Second Century After Dark, in which the host risks an attempt at a close reading of Mark Chapter One.
The episode begins with observations about the Opening Skit from BSC Episode 29, and is followed by a discussion of the major pericopes in Mark 1, with a focus on late dating and a reduction of Mark's legendary narrative to the mundane. The Baptism of Jesus and the relationship between Mark, Matthew, Luke, and Q come in for analysis.
