Can we trust the Gospels? Were these accounts written by individuals with firsthand knowledge of Jesus Christ? Dr. Brant Pitre begins this series by examining why the Gospels are reliable sources of information about Jesus and by looking at the historical evidence that backs up this claim.

Lectio The Case for Jesus: Were the Gospels Anonymous?

As the study comes to the end, we pause to reflect on some questions that have arisen during our journey through Mark's Gospel.

Lectio Mark: Question and Answer

Those mocking Jesus at the foot of the Cross are silenced when he utters a single sentence. As Jesus breathes his last and the Temple veil is torn, Mark records the words uttered by the Roman centurion, words which signal that God's people will finally see, hear and understand.

Lectio Mark: Jesus's Suffering, Death and Resurrection

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus's hour finally arrives—the hour of betrayal and suffering, but also the hour of salvation and glory. Christ the King will be falsely accused, mocked, and tortured, but he will ascend the throne of the Cross and draw the whole world into his reign of love.

Lectio Mark: The Servant of the Lord
