Insights on Mark

Klappentext The style of Mark's writing is not unlike an adventure movie: fast-paced and action-packed. The Gospel of Mark makes for stirring drama--compelling, inspirational, challenging, and sobering. While the other Gospel accounts often explain the themes and subtext of Jesus' story, Mark tells a vivid story that shows us what's important. Jesus is the central figure of this narrative, but Mark intended all followers of Jesus to see themselves in this story. From beginning to end, we will see the Master preparing His disciples and then propelling them forward to encounter challenges they felt ill-prepared to meet. While they rarely understood what was happening, and often lacked confidence in their decisions, they began to realize that following Jesus required neither great intelligence nor heroic bravery, but merely a willingness to do as the Son of God commanded. They learned that being a disciple is primarily a matter of faithful obedience.
