The '''Date of the Gospel of Mark''' was contemporaneous with [[Jesus]]'s ministry and his [[Resurrection]]. [[Liberal]]s' unjustifiably peg the writing of the [[Gospel of Mark]] to the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, based very loosely on the eschatological, end-of-the-world talk in {{bibleref|Mark|13}}. Mark was a [[Gentile]] and there is no reason to think he was in [[Jerusalem]] when the Jewish Temple was destroyed. Also, [[liberal logic]] for the [[Bible]] is that when a work is known to have been composed before a certain event, as in the Temple's destruction in AD 70, then [[liberal]]s insist that is when the work was written (rather than long prior) in order to assign as late a date as possible.

Honest biblical scholars are not experts in the trickery of [[liberal style]] and, as a result, the scholars allow absurd claims of a late authorship to gain unjustified favor.
