One Response to “Photo of 1st-century Gospel of Mark fragment found?”
Thanks. I spent lots of time reading that information and everywhere the links within led. Something is not right here.
It is definitely a codex and the script appears to some as “loose caesarean.”
The appearances are either:
1) It is a modern forgery made to look authentic, or
2) It is a 2nd or 3rd Century document made to look 1st century (for what reason?), or
3) It is a 1 st Century document, made in a Roman scriptorium on a Roman codex (very uncommon for the first century for most people still used scrolls)
Either of three ways, I think we are looking into the abyss here.
