Jeshua, Son of Mary. H. D. Kreilkamp

The Gospel of Mark is an invitation to anyone open to the stories told by believers about Jeshua, the son of Mary, about his life and especially his compassion for those excluded from society and struggling on the margins. Although Mark's Gospel was considered inferior to the other three common to Christians, most scholars today have come to recognize it as the first attempt to give an overall view of the life and death of Jeshua, making it the pioneer of a new literary genre.
