Good Book Club: Gospel According to Mark

Begin 2021 with the Gospel of Mark! The Good Book Club returns to read the earliest and shortest of the four gospels, starting Friday, January 1, 2021, through Shrove Tuesday, February 16.

Mark opens with words from the prophet Isaiah: “See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,” and indeed the gospel itself serves as a messenger for the life and ministry of Jesus. Written around 65-75, Mark proclaims the good news that Jesus is the messiah and Son of God.

We’re excited for this journey through Mark. Make plans now to join Forward Movement and partner organizations from across the Episcopal Church to encounter the risen Lord through the Gospel of Mark.

Sign up to receive updates on the Gospel of Mark. View and download the readings.

Follow the Gospel of Mark with reflections from noted leaders from around the world. If you’d like to enrich your Good Book Club experience by reading A Journey with Mark, we encourage you to order now.
