Overview

Timothy J. Geddert views Mark as a profound theologian and accomplished writer, not a mere compiler of traditions. Mark's text provokes careful reflection on its subtle and challenging message of hope and its call to faithfully follow Jesus on the way.

Mark's Gospel speaks plainly, yet sometimes in riddles, of God as revealed in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, the Son of God. Mark presents God's reign, its present hiddenness and future glory, and its surprising way of coming. Mark tells of discipleship, its costs, rewards, failures, and renewal. Mark is also about Jesus and his followers crossing barriers to pass God's grace on to those formerly excluded.

Mark's resurrection message is open-ended. Readers supply their own ending, not just in words, but by following the resurrected Lord.
