A commentary on The Gospel of Mark - Tapa blanda

It is an extraordinary story. An unknown young man of thirty abandons his job and launches into a new 'career' as a travelling preacher and healer. Immensely popular wit the general public, he quickly falls foul of the religious leaders of his day and then the political authorities. Just three years later he was dead, executed as a dangerous criminal. End of Story? Just the opposite! Three days later, his body had disappeared from his grave. That was only the beginning of the story of which you, the reader are now part.

David Pawson was born in 1930. His father was a Methodist minister and his grandfather, a Professor of Agriculture. David, however, began his career with a degree in Agriculture at Durham University, England. With a newly acquired farm in Scotland, David was surprised when God intervened and led him to become a Christian minister. After completing an MA in Theology at Cambridge University, David became a chaplain in the Royal Air Force for three years. He then moved on to pastor a number of churches in England including the Millmead Centre in Guildford where under David’s caring leadership, the church became a model for many UK church pastors. His time at Millmead was also his most fruitful in terms of the library of his audio teachings. In 1979 David was released from the Millmead Centre to fulfil a wider international ministry. David now has an itinerant ministry predominantly to church leaders worldwide. Millions of copies of his audio Bible teachings have been distributed to over 120 countries. He is a writer and speaker of urgency, clarity and uncompromising faithfulness to the Scriptures. He is widely considered to be one of the world’s finest biblical expositors.
