The Gospel of Mark was written in the first century, likely between 65-70 AD, making it one of the earliest Gospel accounts of Jesus's life and ministry.
While the Bible references provided (1 Timothy 2:15, Ephesians 2:9) do not directly address the dating of Mark's Gospel, Church of Christ scholarship recognizes Mark as an early New Testament document written during the apostolic period. Most biblical scholars, including those in the Church of Christ tradition, date Mark's composition to approximately 65-70 AD, making it likely the earliest of the four Gospels. This dating is based on internal evidence, the testimony of early church fathers, and the fact that Mark was written before the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 AD. The Gospel of Mark stands as a foundational New Testament account of Jesus's teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection, written to establish faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God (Mark 1:1).
