One troublesome tradition of men, largely “Catholic” and “Orthodox”, but with various shades among the Protestant so-called churches as well, is that the apostles were supernaturally astute or even infallible. No true Christian thinks that way, of course, but old assumptions in how we view Scripture and history can still linger around unnoticed sometimes, even for those of us in Christian Identity.
The gospel of Mark is essentially Peter's gospel, and in our previous presentation we read what could be considered Peter's personal account of the healing of his mother-in-law, whom we identified as a type for the woman of Israel in this particular instance, as the woman is often depicted as the symbolic mother of the nation in the prophets.
In our introduction to Mark, we discussed how the early Christian writers attested that this gospel is the faithful preservation of Peter’s oral testimonies. The internal evidence supports this, such as the vivid descriptive style and its focus on the actions of Christ’s ministry rather than lengthy teachings or parables. This emphasis on works gives the Gospel of Mark a fast-paced and dynamic narrative compared to the other accounts.
