Embodying Mark invites readers on a journey through the entire Gospel, accompanying Jesus from his baptism to his empty tomb. Over the course of eight chapters, readers are guided through eight focus passages, each supplemented by related readings and a passage for prayer, along with words for contemplation to remember as they reflect on the theme for each chapter. The book offers a close reading of each text, drawing attention to key details that throw light on Mark's portrait of Jesus. Each chapter also offers exercises for praying and embodying the text through various forms of creative expression.
