Was the Gospel of Mark built on real eyewitness testimony—or is it just another religious legend? In this episode, cold‑case detective and Christian apologist J. Warner Wallace (you) walks through the historical and forensic evidence that Mark’s Gospel is rooted in the firsthand experiences of the apostle Peter. You’ll discover why early Christian writers called Mark “Peter’s interpreter,” how Mark’s rough Greek, Aramaic quotes, and Roman details fit a live translation of Peter’s preaching, and why Peter’s fingerprints are visible all over the narrative.
