Resurrecting Jesus from the fog of familiarity can be hard—so hard, in fact, that we often gloss over the way each individual gospel text portrays him. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is cagey, authoritative, even mysterious. What do we make of this man? Who is he?
Explore Jesus’ character and the reader’s role in the story in Mark 1-10 along with my George Fox students and special guest Pastor Jason Miller from South Bend City Church in this #Coronavirus edition of BIBL 215. You can stream the 3-part discussion session on via the Video’s below.
This conversation follows-on from our discussions on pairing Netflix’s Messiah with the Gospel of Mark for this unit of The Bible and the Novel course.
Here’s the question my students are pondering as they work from home due to #Covid19… If you were making a movie version of Mark’s Gospel, who would you cast as Jesus and why? How would you get at the adrenaline-fueled energy of Mark’s gospel, keeping Jesus compelling but not sentimentalized?
Stay-tuned for discussions about Mark 11-16 next week…
grace & peace,
#NetflixMessiah
