Assignment
1. According to tradition, who wrote the Gospel of Mark? Why are modern scholars unable to verify that tradition? What themes in the Gospel suggest that it was composed after the Jewish Revolt against Rome had already begun?

3. Define parable and discuss Jesus' use of this literary form to describe his vision of God's kingdom.
