Historians, theologians, biblical scholars, New Testament scholars of different faith: Catholics, agnostics, protestants, Jews.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s really interesting to follow the debate, in particular recently <em><a href=\"http:\/\/larryhurtado.wordpress.com\/2013\/11\/19\/bauckham-on-eyewitnesses-and-the-gospels\/\" target=\"_blank\">on the blog of<\/a><\/em> <b>Larry W. Hurtado<\/b>, known professor of the New Testament at Edinburgh University, is appeared an epistolary exchange between him and <b>Richard Bauckham<\/b>, one of the best American biblical scholars, professor at St Andrew university and member of the British Academy and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Bauckham, discussing with Hurtado on the role of eyewitnesses in Gospels development, explained that he\u2019s working on a sequel of his lucky book \u201c<i>Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: the Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony\u201d <\/i>(2008), and that, in this new book, he\u2019ll show <b>new evidences<\/b> on the fact that the Gospel of Mark is largely based on the <b>eyewitness of the Apostle Peter <\/b>(just like Papia affirmed).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Actually this is not a proper news, it\u2019s been a long time since the scientific community assured this fact. According to a great number of scholars, Mark would have composed his gospel around the <b>70 AD<\/b>, although he used material who had been edited <b>several years before<\/b>, transcribing\u00a0 pre-synoptic sources who were spread since the years right after Jesus\u2019 death: for example according to <b>Barth Ehrman<\/b> everything concerning the Passion. <b>Rudolp Pesch <\/b>calls them \u201cpre-Marcan\u201d sources, written one-two years after Jesus\u2019 death. <b>Willibald Bosen<\/b>, for example, has pointed out that Mark doesn\u2019t quote the high priest Caiaphas, as though he were still operant (he stayed till 37 AD).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other scholars, instead, think that the entire Gospel of Mark has to be anticipated to 44 AD, when the evangelist went with Peter to Rome. The supporters academy of <b>Jos\u00e9 O\u2019Callaghan<\/b> affirm it too; he attributed the <b>7Q5 Qumran papyrus fragment <\/b>(it was found in closed caves in 68 AD) to the VI chapter of the Gospel of Mark (Mark 6:52-53), a comparison who was confirmed by following studies and supported by many scholars (in Italy, for example, <b>Orsolina Montevecchi<\/b>, president of the Papyrologists International Association: \u201c<i>It\u2019s nearly impossible that it could be another text, maybe an unknown one. I think it\u2019s time to include the 7Q5 fragment in the official list of New Testament papyruses<\/i>\u201d, \u201cAeugyptus\u201d 1994, p. 206-207), included several critics, like <b>\u00a0J.M. Vernet<\/b> who, during the Symposium in Rome of 2002 whom title was \u201c<i>Contribute of historical sciences to the study of the New Testament\u201d<\/i>, publicly decreed, together with some other scholars, that \u201c<i>it\u2019s become pretty much unanimous the idea that the identification of the Catalan Jesuit about the 7Q5 is the most secure and the clearest, comparing it with many others who were presented as alternatives. The study and the scientific method of O\u2019Callaghan and of other favourables with the identification of 7Q5 \u00a0with Mark 6:52-53 are correct, serious and scientific\u201d<\/i> (signed by P. Parker, C. Roberts, C. Hemer, P. Gamet, V. Spottorno etc.). Vernet\u2019s conclusions correspond to the ones of the international Symposium on the 7Q5 fragment in October 1991 in Eichstatt, where almost every scholar who participated agreed with O\u2019 Callaghan opinion (Symposium acts have been published in M. Bernhard,\u00a0\u201cChristen und Christliches in Qumran?\u201d, Eichst\u00e4tt Studien XXXII, Regensburg, Verlag Friedrich Prustet 1992).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In any case the author of the Gospel of Mark is to be considered an <b>eyewitness<\/b>, according to Bauckham. He also added: \u201c<i>I think the \u2018loved disciple\u2019 wrote the <b>Gospel of John<\/b>, and that he was an eyewitness too. Of course his gospel is the product of his reflections and thoughts, about what he had seen during his life\u201d. <\/i>Talking about Luke, exactly like Mark did,<i> \u201che took every chance to meet eyewitnesses and he interviewed them. He collected material probably from a certain number of minor eyewitnesses from whom he received stories or individual experiences\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The editorial staff,<\/strong>\u00a0translate by\u00a0<strong>Valentina B.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New evidence will be presented by Richard Bauckham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":329,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":7,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[350,167,345,352,342,346,347,344,353,348,343,351,349],"class_list":["post-328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-7q5","tag-apostle-peter","tag-eyewitness","tag-fragment-qumran","tag-gospel","tag-gospel-eyewitness","tag-gospel-of-john","tag-gospel-of-mark","tag-jose-ocallaghan","tag-larry-hurtado","tag-mark","tag-qumran-papyrus","tag-richard-bauckham"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
