Puzzlemaster and Gospel Writer: a Handbook for the Gospel of Mark Dr. Charles N Dillman

Puzzlemaster and Gospel Writer: A Handbook for the Gospel of Mark is a series of live interviews between the modern "Questioner" and Mark. The Questioner takes us into Mark's world to show us Jesus, the Twelve Disciples, and the conflict that resulted in the crucifixion of Christ. Mark the writer of the Gospel that bears his name introduces us to Jesus, so in his answers he invites us into his first-century world. The life of Jesus as we see it through Mark's eyes isn't the peaceful life of a gentle country preacher. Alongside much success and popularity, Jesus faced conspiracies, clever traps, anger, and false accusation. Mark wrote the earliest and shortest of the four Gospels. He loved puzzles, and it shows. Along with his puzzles he gives clues and hints, and then he leaves his readers to put the clues together and do the detective work.
