The Listener's Bible: Mark's Gospel
Fellowship for the Performing Arts
- Unabridged
Narrator: Max McLean
Length: 1 hour and 31 min.
Mark's Gospel is believed to be the earliest written account of the life of Jesus. As Peter preached the gospel, Mark traveled with him and wrote down Peter's testimony. So what we have in the Gospel according to St. Mark are the eyewitness accounts of the Savior as experienced by Peter, Jesus' first disciple.
Mark is the shortest and most action-oriented gospel. He tells the story with relentless energy. It is written to a non-believing audience whose interest was not about theology, but power. It was as if they asked Peter, "I'm not interested in what Jesus taught. I want to know what he did." Mark's Gospel is the written account of Peter's response: "OK, I'll tell you exactly what he did, but sit down because this will 'blow you away.'"
Max McLean has recorded the Gospel according to Mark to help build up your faith in Jesus. Listen to the Bible; it's great for the soul.
