The Jimmy Akin Podcast | Episode 064 (December 15, 2025)

Was the Gospel of Mark really the first Gospel written—and when exactly did it happen? In this thrilling episode, Jimmy Akin puts on his detective hat, sifts through the clues, and narrows its writing to a stunningly early date in the A.D. 50s—possibly as early as 53! Using ancient sources, Paul’s letters, and clever detective work, Jimmy pins down the decade Mark became Peter’s interpreter and changed history. Mind-blowing evidence that will shake up what many think they know about the New Testament!
