The Bible as Drama Act 1: Creation Act 2: Fall Act 3 Israel is chosen Act 4: Jesus Act 5: The Mission of the Church Act 6: The Return of the King

Story of Israel Grace Promise Land Covenant Salvation Law Disobedience Exile Exclusion Judgement

Jesus did not emerge in a vacuum Palestine under Roman occupation Jewish expectations of deliverance Ordinary men and women struggled to make ends meet Many Jews felt in exile in their own land.

What are the contours of Jesus’ life?

A Journey to Jerusalem Baptism Gathering a community Teaching and Healing Opposition Confession Time Teaching about who he is To Jerusalem Opposition Betrayal, Arrest and Trial Death Easter

The Evangelists interpret Jesus Mark  Earliest gospel, short and snappy, two parts with everything from 8:31 a journey to Jerusalem Matthew  Jesus the Teacher (new Moses), Son of David, the Jewish Messiah. Luke  Jesus the healer, saviour of the world with a bias to the poor John  Jesus is God, I AM sayings

Tools for the Story Story of Jesus Story of Israel – Story of a covenant people Story of Mark’s community

Marcan Overview Introduction (1:1-15)  Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God Jesus, the Bearer of the Kingdom (1:16-8:26)  Jesus’ authority and response to it  Jesus’ disciples  Training of the disciples The Road to Golgotha (8:27-15:41)  The Journey to Jerusalem  Jesus in the Temple  Towards the Cross Epilogue (16:1-8) He is Risen or the Tomb is Empty

Mark’s Jesus We know who Jesus is for Mark ▫Some of the characters do not: disciples, authorities ▫Beware of reading into Mark later Christian understandings The Messianic Secret ▫Dramatic plot ▫Corrective? ▫Missional necessity The ‘one like a Son of Man’ ▫What on earth does this mean (self-reference, human being or heavenly/divine figure)

Understandings of Jesus

Gospel beginnings Mark  The Baptist Matthew  Family Tree Luke  Zechariah and Elizabeth John  Before time and space
