                        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.
