The Gospel According to St. Mark

This three-week class on the Gospel according to St. Mark will examine the major themes in the book as they intersect concerns facing the church and the
world today. In addition to more general explorations, the course will isolate a few pericopes from different seasons of the liturgical year for closer examination.
