John Mark: The author of the first Gospel - Prince Maurice Parker

Descriere

nJohn Mark n A study on the life and Biblical background of John Markn n n A school of thought on his world, his family, and the people that surrounded him, and the principal influences in his life as well as the cultural and sociological influences in the life of the author of the first written Gospeln n n This book is an exegetical study of John Mark, the author of the Gospel of Mark, and is written for those that are serious about studying the Word of God. The Gospel of Mark was the first one written and became foundational for the Synoptics. Nevertheless, is this John Mark's testimony, or was it actually the testimony of Simon Peter? What do we know about John Mark, his life, and his world? Who was he and how did he become so influential? What does the New Testament tell us about him? It seems as if we know so little about him, yet he has written a book in the Bible. n n n John Mark was probably the only person that met, visited, or knew just about every church and person mentioned in the New Testament? I want to present a school of thought concerning the life and family relationships of John Mark. In this book, I want to present him in a light in which, perhaps, you have never seen him before, and I pray that you will be blessed, encouraged, deeply edified. n n nDr. Parker has been in active ministry since 1971. He and his lovely wife Guillermina (Gina) have been married since 1976 and have four adult children and twelve grandchildren. n n n Since 2011 he has served as professor of Old Testament History and Exegetics in the Centro Superior de Teología - Asambleas de Dios de España (Assemblies of God Theological Seminary) in La Carlota, Córdoba, Spain.
