Bible Question (short): The "short " ending of Mark? |
Question (full): Ending of Mark. Thanks Radioman. Most of the "contradictions" you mention have not bothered me, for the reasons you state. But the explanation of the gospel genealogies is VERY interesting -- thanks. I wonder what you think about the question I raised at the start of the thread? Really, there are three elements to the question. 1) how can this gospel account be read in harmony with the others (as historical accounts)? 2) in terms of the message the gospel contains (as a narrative), why would so many copies end with the bleak ending? 3) what do you make of the textual authority of the longer versions? (After all, we hold the "original autographs" to be authoritative, no?) Yours JRM |
