Understanding the Gospel of Mark: Context, Message, and Impact on Early Christianity

The Gospel of Mark, written between 65-70 AD, addresses Greek and Roman Christians during a time of persecution, particularly under Emperor Nero. Mark’s message emphasizes Jesus’ path of suffering leading to glory and eternal life, encouraging believers to maintain faith amidst trials. Key themes include the humanity and suffering of Jesus, alongside two pivotal questions: "Who is this person?" and "Will you follow Jesus?" Mark, martyred around April 25, 68 AD, used oral traditions and written accounts to compile his narrative, known for the symbol of the winged lion.
