Hello, all...
 
I got an email recently from a fellow visiting my website asking "why I thought Mark had written his gospel."  I hemmed and hawed a bit, finally admitting that, for my money, Mark is a catechumenal condensation of Matthew and Luke, but I'd like to give him some better informed answers than mine.  Would any of you care to venture an opinion as to Mark's purpose?
 
Thanks much for your indulgence....
 
Jeff K.
