We know very little about the theology being taught by the earlier Christians in Rome, but Mark provided a compelling story of success, then failure, despair and hope. At the same time, Mark's Gospel is careful not to apportion blame for the crucifixion of Jesus to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, making it clear that he was a reluctant judge, who committed Jesus to crucifixion under duress. Mark further endears itself to the Romans by stating, "Give unto Caesar, that which is Caesar's..." (Mark 12:17). Mark's story was clearly not a threat to the Roman Empire, and it was safe for Romans to associate with the gospel.

Who was the gospel of mark addressed to?
Another answer from our community:Mark is commonly believed to be written for a Roman audience, mainly because of his emphasis on action and the omission of details of lesser interest to them.
Are the Gospels of Luke written from Mary's perspective?
No, the Gospel of Luke is not written from Mary's perspective. We can determine that Luke likely interviewed Mary when he was working on his book, because there are things the Luke includes in his Gospel that none of the other Gospel writers include. There are things that only Mary would have known and so the fact they are in Gospel of Luke, he had to have talked to Mary to learn them.
Which gospel was written for the gentiles?
John's Gospel was written for what is now called the Johannine community. Luke's gospel also seems to have been written for a limited community, although it may also have been intended to demonstrate to outsiders, such as the Roman authorities, the antiquity and virtues of Christianity. Some believe that Matthew's Gospel was written for a Jewish community, and if so this would have been a diaspora community. Mark's Gospel shows no indication of having been intended for a limited community, and in fact this gospel was known to the authors of all the other New Testament gospels - Matthew, Luke and John. So, Mark was the most universal of the gospels.
Was Mark's Gospel written in Rome?
Mark's Gospel is traditionally said to have been written in Rome, and that is indeed possible. However, it is more likely that if Mark was written in Rome, it would have been written in Latin, a language which the author seems to have known. There seems little point in writing in a language that many Romans would not have understood.As Mark was written in Greek Koine, it was more likely written somewhere in the eastern empire, where this was the language spoken. On this evidence, it was not written in the Jewish communities of Palestine, where Aramaic would have been the language of choice.
Do Christians disagree with Mark's Gospel?
A:Most Christians believe that the entire Bible is true, including Mark's Gospel. Since Mark is now known to have been the earliest New Testament gospel and that the other gospels were substantially based on Mark, either directly (Matthew and Luke) or indirectly (John), to disagree with Mark's Gospel on important issues would probably be to disagree with the gospels as a whole, which few Christians would do. Of course, there are minor errors in Mark that the subsequent evangelists recognised and corrected, but these are not substantive.

What were the special concerns of Saint Paul?
Paul was only concerned about one thing, this was that he would be a good steward of the gospel. He was prepared to take the gospel to where ever he was directed. Paul said he was called to preach the gospel - Romans 1:1 and that he was not ashamed of the gospel because this is the only way a person can be saved from God's judgement - Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
Why did Mark's Gospel appeal to Romans?
The gospel of Mark seems to have been written with non-Jews in mind because it's terminology was different than other gospel accounts. Mark's account includes explanations that were not necessary for natural Jews. For example, He explains that the Jordan was a "river" and that you could see the temple of Jerusalem from the "Mount of Olives" ... even explaining to the reader that the Pharisees were "fasting" and did not believe in the "resurrection". So in this way, Mark's account is more descriptive and geared for someone with more limited knowledge of the Jewish ways. Since Mark was known to accompany the Apostle Paul (as the Apostle to the nations) and visited him when he was imprisoned in Rome, it is acceptable that his gospel would help continue the preaching of the good news to non-Jews.

Who is The audience in Luke's gospel?
This was the earliest New Testament gospel and was written for people familiar with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The use of mimesis flags suggests the possibility that he sought to keep outsiders in the dark as to what Christians really believed. This is parallelled by Chapter 4, where he talks of Jesus speaking in parables so that others would not understand.So it may be that there were really two audiences for Mark's Gospel - outsiders such as the Romans and the Jewish religious leaders, and the Christian converts who would really understand what the Gospel was meant to say. In Mark's Gospel, only outsiders such as demons and the high priest refer to Jesus as 'Son of God', suggesting a level of caution was needed.
