Download or read book The Gospel According to Mark written by Marie Noonan Sabin and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Collegeville Bible Commentary The Gospel According to Mark Volume 2 The absence of stories of Jesus' birth and infancy, a minimum of Jesus' parables and a resurrection scene without sight or sound of the risen Jesus have tempted readers to shortchange Mark's Gospel. Thanks to the insightful analysis and inspiring reflections of Marie Noonan Sabin, anyone studying this premier Gospel with her guidance will recognize the genius of the original author. Sabin asserts that Mark's Gospel is not an eyewitness account or a work of biography or history. She writes, What Mark gives us is far richer. He interprets Jesus in the light of the Hebrew Bible, showing Jesus to be not only a teacher of Wisdom but Wisdom itself, calling his followers to an unconventional wisdom, a way of living (and a way of dying) that he himself exemplifies." The cover of this commentary from The Saint John's Bible highlights Sabin's thesis that the transfiguration of Jesus is pivotal to the Gospel: "The scene [9:2-8]overshadows both parts of the Gospel, emphasizing God's creative, transforming, transfiguring power to restore life." Sabin gives special attention to Mark's key words and phrases (e.g., "release," "rise up" or "be raised," "straightway," and "ecstasy") and his pattern of twos and threes. Especially helpful are the summaries at the end of each chapter. Here is a commentary that will restore Mark's prime place among the other two Synoptic Gospels. Marie Noonan Sabin, Ph.D., has taught the Gospel of Mark at Bangor Theological Seminary; an earlier book on Mark, Reopening the Word, was published by Oxford University Press in 2002.

Download or read book The Gospel of Mark Part 2 written by Ricky R Lavaughn and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is often written as a person who was moved with compassion and love towards all He encountered. This sentiment is constant throughout the four gospels in the Bible, and Mark is no exception. Sometimes, Jesus would see an individual, friends would bring a person in need, or others would touch Him to receive healing from their infirmity. Even if Jesus was tired, worn out, exhausted, or in need of prayer, He always made time for others to meet their needs. Regardless of whom Jesus met, He treated everyone special and with love. It did not matter if He talked to them individually or in a group. People bombarded Jesus because there was a natural draw to His character, love, and actions. Even those low on society's caste system felt comfortable around someone divine and perfect. Looking at Jesus' life is an example that all those who want to be their best possible selves should emulate. "The Gospel of Mark" is the tool and book for learning to be more like Christ. "The Gospel of Mark" is a Bible study on the book of Mark. It teaches us how to examine the life of Christ, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. The questions are crafted so you can learn about the character and actions of Jesus. By His example, you can go into the world and make a positive change in the community and all you meet. Not only do you learn how to interact with people, but personal changes and character development. There are multiple times in this Gospel where self-reflection and honesty are needed. There was a plethora of people who came to Jesus as they were but knew that something had to change. When reading this book, think about where you desire improvement, transformation, and the ability to be great. After all, the Bible was written for us to learn from its sacred passages and apply them to our daily lives. Through prayer and learning about Jesus Christ, you can get to the level God wants. Being a representative of the Lord means knowing who Jesus is for yourself and becoming the person He created. "The Gospel of Mark" is a tool that allows you to see the best of what God intended you to be. This is part 2 of 3 versions of "The Gospel of Mark."

Book excerpt: Contagious Faith will prepare you to share God's love with others in a way that's authentic, comfortable, and impactful. As disciples of Christ, we are called to share the gospel, but few of us are naturally comfortable with evangelism. We wrestle with internal fears, a lack of preparation, and the sense that reaching out to others might force us to act like someone we're not. What if we could find a way to talk about Jesus that fits our personalities, makes us feel confident, and ignites a fire in others? In Contagious Faith, bestselling author and teacher Mark Mittelberg introduces five approaches to evangelism and helps you determine which of them fit best with your unique personality and style: Friendship-Building Selfless-Serving Story-Sharing Reason-Giving Truth-Telling He also explains in a down-to-earth fashion several key skills that will help you talk about Jesus effectively, illustrating his message with real-life accounts of ordinary believers who applied these principles for extraordinary impact. With inspiring stories, fresh approaches, and timeless biblical wisdom, Contagious Faith will equip you to make a spiritual impact in the lives of the people around you—even in our increasingly resistant culture.

Download or read book The Case for Jesus written by Brant Pitre and published by Image. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book will prove to be a most effective weapon… against the debunking and skeptical attitudes toward the Gospels that are so prevalent, not only in academe, but also on the street, among young people who, sadly, are leaving the Churches in droves.” – Robert Barron, author of Catholicism For well over a hundred years now, many scholars have questioned the historical truth of the Gospels, claiming that they were originally anonymous. Others have even argued that Jesus of Nazareth did not think he was God and never claimed to be divine. In The Case for Jesus, Dr. Brant Pitre, the bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, goes back to the sources—the biblical and historical evidence for Christ—in order to answer several key questions, including: • Were the four Gospels really anonymous? • Are the Gospels folklore? Or are they biographies? • Were the four Gospels written too late to be reliable? • What about the so-called “Lost Gospels,” such as “Q” and the Gospel of Thomas? • Did Jesus claim to be God? • Is Jesus divine in all four Gospels? Or only in John? • Did Jesus fulfill the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah? • Why was Jesus crucified? • What is the evidence for the Resurrection? As The Case for Jesus will show, recent discoveries in New Testament scholarship, as well as neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and the early church fathers, together have the potential to pull the rug out from under a century of skepticism toward the traditional Gospels. Above all, Pitre shows how the divine claims of Jesus of Nazareth can only be understood by putting them in their ancient Jewish context.

Download or read book Reopening the Word written by Marie Noonan Sabin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks: How might the earliest gospel have been heard by those first followers of Jesus who were religious Jews? Assuming that the earliest Jesus traditions took their shape from forms familiar to Judaism, Sabin sets the composition of Mark in the context of the theological discourse of first-century Judaism. In that context, she notes, all theology was biblical. It took the form of an exchange between current events and Scripture: contemporary persons and happenings were understood through the lens of the Hebrew Bible, while at the same time, the biblical word was reopened--that is, reinterpreted--so as to reveal its relevance to the present faith-community. Applying this kind of compositional process to the Gospel of Mark, Sabin uncovers a fresh reading of the seed, fig tree, and vineyard parables; of the various Temple scenes; of the foolish disciples and the wise women; and of the controversial ending. She highlights the results of her findings by juxtaposing them with interpretations of the same passages given by various church fathers such as Origen, Irenaeus, and Bede, as well as by readings from the twentieth century. The results are provocative. Sabin sees Mark as an original theologian shaping his material out of two primary Jewish traditions: the Wisdom traditions, with their emphasis on God's presence in daily life, and Creation theology, which imagined the End Time not as a catastrophe but as a return to the Garden. She thus offers a new way of understanding Mark's use of Scripture, his eschatology, and his presentation of Jesus. In conclusion, she argues that retrieving Mark's voice in the context of Early Judaism brings with it insights much needed in our day: of God's presence in the ordinary; of God's image reflected in female as well as male; of watchfulness as the way of wisdom; of God's revelation as ongoing.

Book excerpt: The study of the Gospel of Mark will encourage your heart and build your faith. Jesus was fully man and fully God! Mark was amazed by this reality. For this reason, Mark's gospel centers on these two aspects of Jesus' life. The first part of the gospel (Mark 1:1-8:33) depicted Jesus as the Servant who rules. The second part (Mark 8:34-16:20) focuses on Jesus as the Ruler who serves.In Part 2 of the study, we see that since Jesus' authority was God-given, with it He upset the status quo. He directly challenged the religious leaders of His day. He overturned tables and purposefully offended people whose hearts were far from God. We will find ourselves in Mark's gospel. Pride, foolishness, and faithlessness often blinded Jesus' disciples and followers. Yet He never gave up on them. And He will not give up on His disciples of today, who are often blinded by the same things.
