Listen "Why Mark's Gospel Survived"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textMark’s Gospel is short, raw, and famously ends in silence — no nativity, no resurrection appearances, no triumphant conclusion. So how did this rough first draft of the Jesus story survive when flashier Gospels came along? In this episode, we explore the surprising reasons Mark’s Gospel made the final cut. From apostolic name-dropping and Gentile appeal to performance-ready storytelling and possible Homeric influences, The B-Side Bible uncovers the overlooked genius of Christianity’s first Gospel.Whether you're a theology nerd, a Bible history buff, or just love a good underdog story — this one’s for you.Support the show
