Overview

Most Christians are familiar with the story told in Mark’s Gospel—from the fishermen leaving their nets to the miracle of the loaves and fishes, to the political rumblings and the crucifixion. But who was Mark? Why was his Gospel written? And why is it charged with such a sense of immediacy? For noted Jesus scholar Marcus Borg, reading Mark is like “meeting Jesus again for the first time.” Learn about this earliest Gospel from the perspective of this important Anglican theologian.
