Biblical text (choose the version you like): http://nasb.scripturetext.com/mark/1.htm
Mark the Evangelist, Apostle Peter's companion, wrote this Gospel for the Romans.
After reading Mark, consider what you think of these snapshots of Jesus. Are they what you see in the Gospel of Mark?

Deep Thought
In the 8th century, visual representations of God were strongly discouraged to prevent the worship of graven images. Today, in a world where creative visual imagery dominates, should/could Mark's narrative snapshots of Jesus be made visual? How?

Really enjoyed the visual aspect to this blogpost - it may be good on FB to actually download maybe five of the snapshots and post a quick caption by it, create a small album so that students will click straight on it - more attractive/persuasive than just posting the link and one picture.
ReplyDeleteThe deep thought link is really interesting and thought-provoking.
