Mark's record of Jesus's life and ministry is fast-paced, action-packed, and straight to the point. Jo and Alex unpack the who, what, when, and where of Mark, and spend some time exploring the interesting distinctives of the second Gospel.

The life and ministry of Jesus have been recorded and given to us in the form of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This series on the Gospels with a look at how we got these Jesus stories, and talk through the historical and literary context of these four accounts of Jesus the Christ.
