John Mark wrote the gospel of Mark based on the experiences of the Apostle Peter. The early Church was facing persecution from the Roman government. Mark wanted to remind these trailblazing believers why their faith was worth dying for. This book, The Beginning of the Good News About Jesus: Bible Study on the Book of Mark examines the historical context of Jesus's life, Jesus's teachings, how his teaching impacted Jews and Gentiles alike, and offers suggestions for applying the truth of His Word today.
