Description

Most Christians are accustomed to the story told in Mark’s gospel — from the fishermen leaving their nets, to the miracle of the loaves and fishes, to the political rumblings and the crucifixion. But no one knows who “Mark” truly used to be or why this gospel used to be written or why it’s charged with this sort of sense of immediacy. For noted Jesus scholar Marcus Borg, reading Mark is like “meeting Jesus again for the first time.” Individual readers and parish study groups will learn about this earliest gospel from the perspective of crucial Anglican theologian.

Conversations with Scripture is the umbrella title of the Anglican Association of Biblical Scholars Study Series. Written in accessible language and sensitive to people who have little or no experience in reading the Bible, each and every book in the series specializes in exploring the historical and critical background, plus modern application of the texts. Other books in the series focus on the Gospel of John, Revelation, the Law, the Parables, and 2 Isaiah.

From the Introduction: “In thousands of congregations…this emerging way has been a means of revitalizing and deepening Christian understanding and commitment. This can be a way that integrates faith and reason, head and heart, intellect, experience, and yearning. For me, it has made the entire difference. This book is a small contribution to this process of adult theological re-education.”
