Dying to live
Michael Wright reviews an engaging new book that draws lessons from Mark’s gospel
Being familiar with the gospels can lead us into thinking that we know Jesus and his teaching very well. Then, when you read a book by a writer who has steeped himself in the text, and the context in which the author was writing, new perspectives dawn. John Churcher is such a writer. He brings to the surface all sorts of nuggets of information and analysis, many of which I have not seen before.
