The Gospel of Mark has been read, revered, and argued over for nearly two thousand years. Joseph Plummer has read it too - every verse, every chapter - and he's not buying any of it. Working through Mark from beginning to end, Plummer asks the questions nobody in church ever asks. Why did Jesus keep telling people not to talk about his miracles when he clearly wanted the attention? Where did all those multitudes go when things got rough? And what exactly was going on between Jesus and his twelve closest male companions? Plummer has answers. They're not the ones you'll find in a commentary written by someone who believes the text. They're the answers you get when someone reads it straight and says what everyone else is thinking but nobody wants to say out loud. Funny, irreverent, and completely unafraid. Read it at your own peril.
