When Does "The Gospel According to Mark" (70) Take Place?
"The Gospel According to Mark" (sometimes released as "The Gospel of Mark" or simply "Mark") is a religious historical fiction epic poem written anonymously that released around the years 66 to 70. So when is "Mark" set?
It takes place in the years:
We know this because the main action of the story depicts the final years of the real-world spiritual leader Jesus of Nazareth from his adult baptism up to his famous and tragic final days. Scholars date those events to the year 30 AD or 33 AD and his public teaching is said in "The Gospel According to John" (90) to have lasted 3 years. So the book covers either the year 27 AD to 30 AD or the year 30 AD to 33 AD.
27 AD - 33 AD
