In the narrative of Mark鈥檚 Gospel, Jesus is presented as the Son of God who fulfills the Torah of Moses and who, in His teachings and actions, demonstrates a unique authority over this Torah. When teaching on the Law, Jesus will repeatedly draw His listeners back to God鈥檚 original will for mankind at creation. When teaching His disciples, Jesus will repeatedly call them to what it means to be disciples who follow Him, the Crucified One. Yet Jesus himself, in establishing God鈥檚 reign, brings forgiveness, new life, and purity to those to whom this reign comes.

鈥淭he Lay Bible Institute provides a unique opportunity to see how the story of Jesus as told by Mark can cast new light upon our faith and life,鈥 said Dr. Charles Arand, professor of systematic theology and dean of theological research and publication. 鈥淎ttendees will have the chance to engage in a daylong conversation and study about the latest insights into the Gospel of Mark as shared by one of our emerging scholars of this Gospel.鈥
