Reading the Gospel of Mark as a Novel

Exploring the oldest gospel, Geert Van Oyen offers a narrative critical approach that invites readers to engage deeply with the character of Jesus. The book emphasizes that faith is grounded in practical experience rather than abstract truth. It challenges conventional interpretations by highlighting the revolutionary message of servitude and humility found in the gospel, particularly the paradox that true greatness lies in serving others. This thought-provoking examination encourages readers to reflect on their understanding of Jesus and the transformative power of his teachings.
