But as I say elsewhere,<br /><br />If the ideological motivation for assigning authors is to bolster the gospel we know as Mark (among others) and to lead Christians to reject alternatives like what is known as the Gospel of Peter, the obvious thing to do would be to go ahead and attribute this gospel to Peter and to insist that this is the real gospel of Peter and that the other one claiming to be by Peter is phony! Why would a deeply ideologically motivated editor, willing to make stuff up to push an agenda, submit to the popular designation of a document he was rejecting as written by Peter while not trying to claim that accolade for the document he wished to promote?<br /><br />http://lydiaswebpage.blogspot.com/2015/07/on-bart-ehrman-and-authorship-of-gospels.htmlLydia McGrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423567323116960820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-56379857547475096272015-03-25T06:36:17.672-04:002015-03-25T06:36:17.672-04:00Good apologetic Jason,

Not a big puzzle but a little odd. <br /><br />I present a bit more about John Mark here- http://quizzingdv.blogspot.ca/2015/01/acts-13-holy-spirit-binds-and-blinds.htmlRon Van Brenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623171051016737306noreply@blogger.com
