A friend wrote yesterday saying her church was going to start a sermon series on the Gospel of Mark. Last night, while sitting in a MacDonald's sipping coffee, I decided to reread Mark's gospel and did so in one setting. Great experience. I would like to go over many passages and pin down the location of various incidents and phrases. Meanwhile, today I looked up Max McLean's dramatic recitation and have been enjoying his rendition. Mark's gospel, I'm told, was intended to be read orally.
Update 3/7/15
Today I learned of another Gospel of Mark recitation, this one by the famed British actor, Alec McCowen. McCowen chose as his text the 1611 Authorized (King James Version) of the Bible. I have appreciated both these renditions.
