The FACTS . . . AND NOTHING BUT THE FACTS FROM THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS . . .
The search for the “historical Jesus” centers in the 2 & 4 source hypothesis for its operation that Mark is the earliest, most “primitive gospel”
2/4 Source is historical-critical nonsense!
- Never, ever once was the Gospel of Mark said to be written first in church history
- Matthew was always considered to be written first and John last in terms of chronological order
- Luke was said to be written second, with Mark third (although later in early church history sometimes Mark was thought to be second at times)
- IT WAS THE ENLIGHTENMENT that caused a total dismissal of what the earliest men in church history had to say about Gospel origins.
- LOGIC would indicate that those closest to the times in which the gospels were written would know more than those who lived in the 1700s during the Enlightenment!
