Description

The most unique feature of this book is its claim that the Gospel of Mark is a story told twice: once as the account of John the Baptist and Jesus, and again as the story of Elijah and the Son of Man. As a Twice-Told Tale, Mark resembles a parable and its interpretation. Therefore, the stories Mark told about Jesus are also parables. Anticipating martyrdom in the war between Rome and Judea, Mark called death a spiritual baptism and broken bread the body of the Son of Man. In the post war period Matthew and Luke re-interpreted Mark's story.

Author Biography:

As a teenager the author was a boy preacher in a Pentecostal church in the Ozarks. The last two years of High School he studied at a Bible school in Oklahoma City, attended one year at Bethany Nazarene College in Bethany, Oklahoma, and completed courses for a B.A. in history at Central State University in Edmond, Oklahoma in 1961. He began a study of Albert Schweitzer's theology at Central State, and completed it at the School of Theology at Claremont in 1974. While working as a Los Angeles Social Worker, he completed the book on Mark in 2000 C.E.
