Lindisfarne Gospel of Mark
On most Sundays in Ordinary Time throughout 2021 we are reading from the Gospel according to Mark. This evangelist created the gospel genre, and was the first to compose a gospel narrative. These two talks illustrate the skill with which Mark put his gospel together, and consider also how the later gospels of Matthew and Luke adapted what Mark wrote and added to it.
