Studying the Gospels: Mark as a Work of Literature

This free lesson is one in a 27-lecture course of mine, The New Testament: Exploring the Christian Bible, which I did for Paths in Biblical Studies.  You can see the entire lesson and Q&A below and download all accompanying resources below.  If you'd like to take the full course, please click here.

Overview:

The Gospels are historical sources. But they are also, crucially, literary sources as well, each crafted with distinctive themes, motifs, and plot elements. How can contemporary literary methods illuminate our study of the New Testament? And what hidden and deeper layers will we find beneath each of these texts? In this lesson, we will capture Mark's literary genius.
