Homer's Odyssey (800 BC, Greek myth) parallels Jesus in Mark's Gospel (70 AD) - TruthSurge 1/4

Youtube Description:
Did Mark write his 'gospel' as a fictional tale? An allegory of the heavenly Jesus 'pwning' the Jews for rejecting him? Did Mark rely upon Greek mythology to help him sculpt his own mini-epic? This vid is the start of evidence intended to answer this question.... beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Homer/Mark information I present in this series comes from an amazing book, 'The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark' by Dennis R. MacDonald.

What is Gospel?
Gospel is the Old English translation of Greek evangelion, meaning "good news". It originally meant the Christian message itself, but in the 2nd century it came to be used for the books in which the message was set out. The four gospels of the New

Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the main source of information on the life of Jesus.
