MARK
The authorship of the Gospel which bears the name of Mark is unknown. The Gospel writer/s was influenced by the stories, wisdom and leadership of Peter until his martyrdom sometime between 64 and 67C.E. Internal evidence suggests that the Gospel of Mark was probably written between 65- 70C.E., after the death of Peter and towards or at the end of the four-year war between Israel and Rome. This war resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70C.E. as evidenced in Mark 13. According to tradition, the Gospel was written in Rome; however, some believe it was written in a more rural location because of the lack of urban imagery. The Gospel of Mark was predominately written for a gentile community. This is evidenced by the lack of intertextuality with the Hebrew Scriptures. This means there is little evidence of connection with words phrases and ideas from the Hebrew Scriptures in Mark’s Gospel. It seems he is writing for people who knew and used Latin.
JOHN
The authorship of the Gospel which bears the name of John remains a mystery. Irenaeus who wrote at the end of the second century, identified the apostle John with the evangelist John and others have speculated that the Gospel was written by disciples of John the apostle. John’s primary audience seems to have been a group of Jewish Christians who were in a situation of increasing tension with the Jewish synagogue. The Gospel of John was probably written in the 90’s C.E.
