How the black man embraced Christianity

[Rev. Rye]

There was a 40-or-so-year gap in between the time Jesus would have lived and died and the time the Gospel of Mark would have been written. It's actually not that implausible.

I think it becomes more implausible when we take into account Mark was a potless, illiterate fisherman without the means to travel to Egypt. No matter how we track the story all roads lead back to Acts Ripping Yarns.
Camp fire tales.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the case. It is really bloody hard to find much reliable information about the earliest days of Christianity.
