QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 71861420, member: 375234"]hah, sorry, you asked a question!? Well, I usually point to the wiki on dating Mark, trying to avoid using a site that would only give one view or just one school of thought.
Gospel of Mark - Wikipedia
While we can get some individual(s) to point to either an earlier or a later time, I want to know instead, since this dating based on various indications, what a consensus view is. Sort of like if I wanted to learn about some early period in American history, I'd want not just one viewpoint, but several to put together.[/QUOTE
============================
For most things (if not everything) on earth,
society "consensus" view is not just distorted, but opposed to the truth, according to all Scripture and observing most all history to see.
Yes, but trying to merely date (only the somewhat trivial question of this year or that year, or these few years, or those few years) the mere time of when Mark was written down more exactly, not in any way said in scripture, just a mere dating, one can fall back on just trying to compare various estimates. It's not like we are trying to figure out a actually crucial question like "And who is my neighbor?" (something that really does matter profoundly for us), which is addressed in scripture.
