Mark the Evangelist - 2024 ACF Fall

Question

A so-called “Secret Gospel” attributed to this person is mentioned in a manuscript of disputed authenticity known as the Mar Saba letter. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this figure, to whom the early church tradition attributed a canonical gospel ordered after Matthew and before Luke and John.

ANSWER: Mark the Evangelist [or Saint Mark; accept John Mark or Iōannēs Markos; accept Secret Gospel of Mark; reject “John” alone]

[10m] The gospels according to Matthew and Luke are often theorized to have used Mark as a source and thus the three are paired together under this adjective, which is Greek for “seeing together.”

ANSWER: synoptic [or synopsis or synoptic gospels]

[10h] Eusebius of Caesarea describes Mark compiling Peter’s sermons into his gospel before founding a Christian church in this city. A female saint from this city was condemned to death on a wheel by the emperor Maxentius.

ANSWER: Alexandria [accept Catherine of Alexandria]
