On today's episode we discuss the Gospel of Mark, the earliest-written Gospel of the Bible.
Today’s conversation starts with the circumstances surrounding the initial writing of the Gospel of Mark. Do you remember who fiddled while Rome burned?
We ponder how the earliest Christians heard and understood this Gospel, and the developing Christology that you experience as you read each Gospel of the Bible.
We imagine the ways in which Christian tradition would be radically different if the Gospel of Mark were our only Gospel.
Finally, we talk about Jesus’ resurrection, other resurrection stories in the Bible, and which pop-culture genre is big on Lazarus.
