THE GOSPEL OF MARK: HIS JEWISH LOOK AT JESUS
Led by the Rev. Dr. Kathleen Rusnak
Three Sunday Sessions on 7, 14 & 21 October from 11.45 - 12.45 in the Parish Hall
Mark is widely known as the shortest, earliest, and most influential of all the gospels. Perhaps, even, the most loved! Mark is a short, fast-pacing, and a plot-twisting drama! Here, we are Jesus teaching, healing, and recruiting, and not concerned about rebelling against Roman occupation or getting rid of Israel’s religious elite. Jesus wants his reader to embrace a particular worldview—a particular world! Join us as we investigate Jesus’ perspectives and practices from the Second Temple Jewish world that Jesus lived and ministered in, and what Mark has Jesus asking of us.
