Introduction: Author: Expanded Dictionary Study troduction: Author: Mark Place: Rome Date: AD 60-65 The Gospel according to Mark begins with the statement that it is "the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God " Jesus is pictured as a man of action and authority. His authority is seen in his teaching, in His power over demons, and in forgiving peoples' sins.
