Description

Mark's genius lies in creating conditions under which the reader may experience the peculiar quality of God's good news. The Evangelist hurries along breathlessly, making sure that the reader lurches with the characters into one pothole after another.

The story is structured as conversations with Jesus that make little sense, if any. The characters are craven, stupid, self-serving, and disobedient: a reflection of those who follow him. This portrayal challenges the reader to consider the nature of God's Messiah and his relationship with his followers.
