YouTube description

As we reach the end of the lectionary year, we are going back to the beginning, to where we started in the Gospel of Mark! This reading overlaps with some of the earlier ones in the year, but also patches in the verses that we previously missed out.

As usual with Mark, his account is very compressed—so we need to attend carefully to every word. And when we do, we find riches of theological thinking as well as Old Testament allusion. And all the ideas here are hints at what is to come as the gospel unfolds—things we have been discovering all through the year.

Come and join Ian and James as they explore these questions! Revd James Blandford-Baker is vicar of Histon and Impington, two villages just north of Cambridge. Revd Dr Ian Paul is Associate Minister of St Nic's, Nottingham, and writes the widely-read blog www.psephizo.com.

Full written commentary behind the discussion can be found on the blog.
