Abstract
This paper delves into the text and historical validity of "The Gospel of Mark," the second of the four Gospels from the "New Testament." This paper explores the views and opinions of biblical historians who attribute the stories depicted in the "Gospel of Mark" to the passage of oral tradition. The writer contends and explains how the "Gospel of Mark" was linked directly to actual historical events and social forces which were at play during Christ's life and ultimate death. This paper analyzes the role of the Jews in Christ's crucifixion as described in this Gospel while also discussing the support and and exoneration of Pilate of any wrongdoing. This paper also details the literary symbols and themes that separate this particular Gospel from the others, including the fact that Mark tends to ignore specific allegories and riddles which are common tools used in the other three Gospels.
From the Paper
"Unlike other gospels, Mark bears many traits that make it stand alone religiously, both furthering it form other gospels and also providing a source for its inclusion in textual collectives. In the first chapter, for instance, Jesus' interment in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights does not include discourse with Satan, but only instead encounters with the wild beasts of the terrain. In the next chapter, Mark states that which Matt and Luke ignored, saying that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. This moment is a direct hit, once again, on the Jews and their cultural society. Two literary hallmarks characterize the gospel of Mark, differentiating it from the others. First, Mark tends to ignore parables and riddles, a popular tool of the other gospel authors and disciples. Additionally, Mark tends to write in literary circles, providing great moments of contrast for the reader."

Abstract
The writer explains why "The Gospel of Mark" is the least polished of the four Gospels, albeit the author reveals a talent for graphic description. The writer of this paper details and analyzes various passages from the the book. The narrative opens with the preaching of John the Baptist who represents the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Following the baptism and temptation of Jesus, Mark relates his messianic ministry and then quickly takes the reader to the climax, being the week of Jesus' passion at Jerusalem which culminates in the crucifixion. The writer ponders the author's intent in penning this book and contends that it remains unclear whether or not the author's aim was to influence his fellow Christians or to simply tell the story of Jesus Christ as an historical event. This paper delves into the views and opinions of various theologians and scholars who contend that the primary purpose of "The Gospel of Mark" is to trace a genuine sequence of historical events. This in-depth paper also details one of the most important areas in the book, the passionate narrative which begins with the priests plotting the death of Jesus and concludes with the crucifixion.
From the Paper
"When at Caesarea Philippi, Jesus' identity is questioned, and the author thus provides some background as to this question. First, when Jesus enters the synagogue at Capernaum, those in attendance are "astonished by his doctrine, for he taught them as one that had authority and not as the scribes" In verse 28, as a result of Jesus' teachings in the synagogue, "immediately, his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee." Once again, the strength of these verses illustrates that Jesus is a power to be reckoned with, due to his knowledge and God's proclamation that he is the only Son of God. Jesus then recruits other disciples, such as James and John, and decides to spread the Word of God to other parts of the region while doing good deeds, like miraculously healing the sick and the blind. As a symbol of his personality, Jesus does not accept the role of prophet and then forbids his disciples to spread the idea that he is the messiah, due to "the contemporary messianic ideals of the Jews which he rejected."

Abstract
This paper explains that John Mark, son of Mary, was not one of Jesus' original disciples; however, it is widely accepted that he traveled with Paul on his first missionary journey; Mark interpreted a story told to him by Peter, one of Jesus' disciples. The author points out that "Gospel of Mark" was written around 60 A. D. and was published in Rome; the thesis of Mark is to present Jesus as the Son of God while being fully human. The paper concludes that Mark gives readers examples of how Christians should live their lives as servants.
From the Paper
"Because the Gospel of Mark is not laid out chronologically, the Mark's argument successfully focuses on the character of Jesus. The fact that Mark begins with Jesus' baptism and follows with an account of his ministry is Mark intention to prove that Jesus was indeed a servant of God as well as the Messiah, the Son of God. Mark's construction of the book is effective in this way because it presents with another angle of Jesus' life. He sets out to prove that Jesus is the Son of God who is a servant who suffers to fulfill his father's will. Mark has not neglected any real facts in this text. His gospel is filled with eyewitness accounts and it is also told to him through none other than Peter. These facts give the gospel a certain amount of credibility because it is not something that has been passed from one generation to another."

"The Gospel According to Mark is generally accepted to have been written prior to the other three canonical Gospels, with most scholars dating it about 70 C.E. Various investigators have argued for a date as early as 63-64 or later than 70. J.J. Griesbach, in rejecting the "two document hypothesis" which which emerged in the mid-nineteenth century, contended, however, that Mark was dependent on both Matthew and Luke for its material, which would necessitate a date considerably later.

" ABSTRACT
The author examines the concept and responsibilities of discipleship revealed in a reading of Mark 8:27-33, and illuminated elsewhere in the Gospel According to Mark. One of the author's main contentions is that biblical scholarship and interpretation is continuing to lead the Christian community of faith away from the mysticism which once infused Judaism and was likely a part of the early Church's understanding of its relationship to God through Jesus, the Messiah of Israel.
The author explores the topic from a variety of interpretive perspectives gathered from an assortment of (mostly) recent texts and articles written by theologians, historians, philosophers.."

From the Paper
"This research discusses the gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke. There are four gospels in the New Testament, but only three are addressed here. The focus is on comparing and contrasting the topics covered in the three gospels.
The four gospels begin at different times in the ministry of Jesus Christ, and at different places. While John, which won't be considered here, begins the story of Jesus as God with eternity, Mark begins the story of the servant of God with John the Baptist and Jesus' baptism (1:1-13). Both Matthew and Luke, scholars at heart, begin with Jesus' lineage, a matter of much more importance to the educated person in those days than it is now (Matt. 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38). Matthew, seeking to show Jesus as the Son of David and fulfillment of prophecy, traces him through Joseph to establish his legal possession of the ..."

From the Paper
"The Gospel of Mark, second in order in the New Testament, is also the shortest. Its brevity belies its interest. There are differing opinions on both the authorship and purpose of this gospel, but perhaps most disputed is neither one, but how it was written. Ironically, the method of writing is not nearly so important spiritually as is the message itself. Arguments over the method are similar to arguments over creation versus evolution: does the reader believe God involves Himself in the affairs of man and the world, or not? The message of Mark's gospel says He does, to man's benefit and salvation.
The second gospel was neglected by scholars from the 4th to the 19th centuries because it was widely regarded as an abridgment of Matthew, which was written first (Grassmick 95). Since the 19th century proposition that Mark was written first ..."

Abstract
According to Luke Johnson (1986), the perception of the gospel of Mark has undergone much revision during this century. Mark's narrative was early considered the least sophisticated, but later came to be seen as using both narrative and language in an extremely sophisticated way to help redefine the categories of insider and outsider in the early Christian community.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the gospels of Mark and Luke in the area of literal rather than allegorical content, through the development of the similarities and differences of the messages. The main focus of the contrast and comparison is the humanity of the messages. It discusses how in Mark many of the key definitive situations that develop the history of the characters of the Bible, such as Mary, Elisabeth, John the Baptist and even Jesus himself are missing, removing the divine from the story, while in Luke these stories are clear. The story of John the Baptist's conception as well as Jesus' conception and birth are two examples of this difference.
From the Paper
" The first and possibly the most profound difference between the gospels of Mark and Luke can be found within the very first pages of the works. They both tell the story of John the Baptist, but Mark begins his life in the work as he is during the late life of Jesus, while Luke introduces John through an introduction to his fantastic family history, in some ways as fantastic as the conception and history of Jesus himself. In Mark nearly the first passage indicates that John has come upon the scene as a man, whole and with no miraculous history, Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

Abstract
The following paper analyzes possibilities for why these gospels, that are remarkably and mysteriously alike in a plethora of ways, agree on so many things yet disagree in other ways. The writer examines whether Matthew could have been the source of Mark and Luke's gospels.
From the Paper
"The New Testament is one of the most significant pieces of literature ever written. It is a compilation of the story of and the lessons taught by the most notable religious figure in history: Jesus Christ. Although many use it for guidance in their personal lives and the foundation of their religions, few actually take the time to learn about its origin. When were they written? Who were the writers? What were the sources? Scholars and historians have debated and discussed these questions. The four most acknowledged books in the New Testament are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It has often been assumed that these books were written by four men named Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, yet further research has determined that this might not be the case. Of the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke have the most in common and are therefore are referred to as the ?Synoptic Gospels.? It is unclear why they are so remarkably similar, yet a few hypotheses have been proposed to explain why the three Gospels share so much in common. One of the most fundamental aspects of each of their Gospels is their passion narratives in which curious similarities and differences have been noted."

Abstract
This paper looks at the stories behind the disciples Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as portrayed in the gospels. It discusses how Matthew was a tax collector before he became a disciple of Jesus and how he gave up everything, how Mark was discovered by Peter, how Luke was believed to be a physician and an evangelist and finally how many believe that John was Jesus' cousin.
From the Paper
"Many historians agree that Luke wrote his for the Greek audience and that the book was written around 60 AD. Halley observes that much of Greek culture revolved around culture, philosophy, and education, Luke to a philosophic approach to writing his book. According to Halley, Luke's Gospel is a completely "orderly, and classical story" (Halley 485). MacArthur adds that in this Gospel, we can see Luke's petition to the Greeks because Luke "usually preferred Greek terminology over Hebraisms" (MacArthur 289). Moreover, it is important to note that Luke reinforces the "universal scope of the gospel invitation" (289). Bryant backs up this notion adding that Luke's Gospel is called a "Gospel of the nations, full of mercy and hope, assured to the world by the love of a suffering Savior" (Bryant 392)."
