Excerpt from The Gospel According to Mark: With Introduction and Notes
To many there comes occasionally, and with some there abides continually, a sense of wonder at the apparent chasm between the Old Testament and the New. When designedly left incomplete, ordinary books usually give some token of a volume to come; or, if a sequel follows as an afterthought, a word of explanation is given. God's book is not as man's. My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, 1saith the Lord. The two Testaments stand like two mighty cliffs rising sheer into the clouds, without any formal indication of mutual dependence. Between the two there yawns across the course of revelation a deep abyss, whose darkness sometimes appalls the timid soul; yet through the gloom there gleam some rays of light.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book opens the New Testament, which, when taken with the Old Testament, constitutes the full Word of God. Like other New Testament writings, it's filled with specific teachings, stories, parables, and events from Jesus's life, ministry, passion, death, and resurrection. It's no mere collection of abstract ideas but rather a story of Jesus, the Messiah, a real man of flesh and blood, who lived among us, taught us the Kingdom of God, performed miracles, and was crucified but rose again for our salvation. Yet, this isn't just a storybook. Its message is a timeless one; it's a guide that continues to shape how we follow Christ today. At its heart, this book is about transformation, the transformation of hearts, minds, and lives that comes through the saving grace of Christ. It's not a new message; there have always been people who have been choosing to listen and believe. The author, Mark, says the time is fulfilled, the Kingdom of God is at hand, therefore, the call is to repent, which simply means to turn around and believe the good news.
