The Gospel of Mark is a relatively short book whose brevity and style create an engaging narrative experience. But Mark's Gospel is by no means a simple text, and scholars have long puzzled over various features of the narrative. Reading Mark offers an accessible introduction to Mark's story of Jesus, as well as to important scholarly discussions. Equipping students to become better interpreters of Mark, the discussion focuses on key elements of the narrative, including the presentation of Jesus and the disciples, the so-called messianic secret, and the enigma of Mark's ending. Designed for beginning students, Reading Mark offers a broad and inclusive orientation to the fascinating world of Mark's Gospel.
