Mark 14:1-11
Isolates and describe the most significant interpretive issues within the selected text.
What does this demand of the reader? What kinds of information are we meant
to have in mind? What kinds of expectations and worldviews does Mark presuppose or aim to nurture? What nuances stand out now and how will these be developed or deepened?
How does Mark think that a person prepares the way of the Lord?
How have you seen or can you imagine a church today cultivating this sense of living in the new age?
There is an implicit Trinitarian theology here, though it would likely miss the aim of the narrative to linger on it. Even so, What other aspects of God’s character do you see? How do we appreciate this complexity?
