The Gospel of Mark

Jesus Christ lived a very full, if short, life. He did and accomplished more in his thirty years than many men do in twice that. The gospels each tell their versions of his life. Of the four, I found the gospel of Mark to be the most interesting. I enjoy the style of writing in this gospel more than the others. I feel it gives a better summary of the events in Christ’s life. …

…especially where the resurrection was concerned. I feel this takes away from the importance and overall effect of Christ’s return. I look at the gospel of Mark more as a biographical sketch than anything else. While there is some dogma involved, it is held in check in favor of telling about the life of Jesus Christ. Because of a heavier emphasis on biography, I find that Mark is more believable then the other gospels.
