Introduction: Expanded Dictionary Study
Introduction:
Author: Mark
Place: Rome
Date: AD 60-65 The Gospel according to Mark begins with the
statement that it is "the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God
" Jesus is pictured as a man of action and authority. His
authority is seen in his teaching, in His power over demons, and
in forgiving peoples' sins. Jesus speaks of Himself as the Son
of Man, and "Son of God", Who came to give His life to set
people free from sin.
Mark presents the story of Jesus in a straight-forward, vigorous
way, with emphasis on what Jesus did. After a brief prologue
about John the Baptist and the baptisim and temptation of Jesus,
the writer immediately takes up Jesus' ministry of healing and
teaching. As time goes on, the followers of Jesus come to
understand Him better, but Jesus' opponents become more hostile.
The closing chapters report the events of Jesus' last week of
earthly life especially His cucifixion and resurrection.
