Mark Is not only the shortest but
tho oldest of the four gospelB It
was probably written very soon
after 70 A D Inasmuch as It anto
dates Matthew Luke and John it
Is of tho greatest value and nuthor
lty fjom tho hlBtorical point of
view But its author is one of tho
minor characters In the Now Testament
Tho son of Mary in whoso
house in Jerusalem the early church
held its meotlngsMark was associated
with Paul and Barnabas on

highly pleased with his job ot

declares that ho Is undecided
whether to go Into training for a

Littlo Baer take over tho crown
inconsod at this evident faintheart

Mark unquestionably wrote his
gospel for a Gontlle public for ho

mean that Mark had fellowship
with Peter in Rome At any rate
wo nro snfo in saying that Marks
nnrratlvo was written In part
from Information supplied to him
by Peter in tho form of romlnls

Tho gospol Is simple straightforward
compact Mark lacked literary
skill but ho is none tho loss
tho graphic vivid and dramatic
Tho pace of his diction Is worthy
