Lesson 1 - Introduction

The series of lessons presented here were part of a Bible Study taught by William Sexton for the Church of Christ in Van Buren, Arkansas. Some changes have been made by the Editor but the integrity and format of the basic lessons have been preserved. Four Tables, which were not part of the original study of Mark have been added. These Tables were added originally by the Editor as part of the study of the Book of Matthew (See Matthew Study). It is our hope that they will be of help to the Bible student as they study the Book of Mark. The Lessons themselves are presented as a series of 25Lessons covering the 16 Chapters of Mark's Gospel. As we said during our study of Matthew, theseLlessons are not intended as a complete commentary on Mark but are intended to provide the student an overview of the book. Each lessons is divided into an Introductory or commentary section and a Question section. The recommended course of study for the applicable lesson should be: first, to read the verses associated with the particular lesson before undertaking any thing else. This is essential, for, if the verses are not read beforehand, it will be difficult, for anyone not familiar with Mark's Gospel, to understanding the theme or the content of the lesson being taught. It is recommended also that the questions be answered to reinforce the study as a refresher. REFERENCE TABLES
