God's Word: Mark by ric gustafson
The author of the book is not stated, It is believed to be John Mark who was a missionary companion of Paul and Barnabas. The date of the book is AD 60's. This was during the Roman persecution of Christians. The book talks about Jesus being God's Son. God's Son is a suffering servant of all people.
The Gospel of Mark is brief but it is the most active of the Gospels.
This Gospel addresses a Gentile audience. It portrays Jesus as a man of action. This Gospel talks about healing the sick, controlling nature and battling the powers of Satan. One of this Gospel's themes is that of Jesus being a suffering servant.
It was said that John Mark was at Jesus's arrest. To Christians, suffering and loss are the pathway to real life.
