Gospel According to St. Mark

This keepsake hard cover edition of The Gospel According to St. Mark was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style and the most important book in the English language it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years. The Gospel According to St. Mark follows the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death and burial and the discovery of the empty tomb. It portrays Jesus as a heroic man of action an exorcist a healer and a miracle worker. Jesus is also the Son of God but he keeps his identity secret concealing it in parables so that even most of the disciples fail to understand. All this is in keeping with prophecy which foretold the fate of the messiah as suffering servant.
