Blind Man's Blog
Welcome to my blog where I write about the gospel of Mark. Some entries contain my own original ideas, while some entries contain my personal way of expounding the ideas of others. I don't have a college degree. I am merely an amateur exegete, and a Gospel of Mark enthusiast. I think it is best to read Mark as if I've never known another gospel. Perhaps he would have preferred that we all do so? I find Mark's story to be very interesting due to the mysterious ways in which Jesus is presented. It is as if Mark was begging the reader to question their own preconceptions about the Messiah, and what He came to do. In the words of Jesus himself: "Who do you say I am?"
