Our First Gospel

""Our First Gospel"" by Francis David Pansini challenges the traditional view that the Gospel of Matthew was the first written Gospel, and argues that the Gospel of Mark was actually the earliest Gospel account. Pansini critiques the doctrinal argument for Mark's priority, which he deems inadequate, and instead presents evidence for Matthew's dependence on Mark's Gospel. The book also explores the implications of this revised understanding of Gospel chronology for the development of early Christianity. Despite his argument for Mark's priority, Pansini acknowledges that the traditional view of Matthew's priority remains in possession, and offers a nuanced perspective on the ongoing debate. Overall, ""Our First Gospel"" is a scholarly work that engages with biblical scholarship and theological debates, and offers a fresh perspective on the origins of the Gospel accounts.Catholic University Of America, Studies In Sacred Theology, No. 93.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
