Session #1 – Mark as STORY

A story can be understood only if it is experienced. If it’s possible before watching this first session, please do a rapid read-through of Mk, STOPPING at 16:8, Mk’s original ending. It takes less than an hour and a half. Pay attention ONLY to Mk’s story, without ‘filling in details’ from other Gospels or ‘what you’ve always heard/thought’ about Jesus.
