Mark is the earliest of the Gospels, the one written closest to Jesus’ lifetime. It is short, urgent, passionate and dramatic and reads a little like a front-line despatch from Christ’s life and death. Often we hear the Gospels in short sections, but it can be a revelation to read – or hear – the whole of the story at once.
David Suchet; one of the best-known and best-loved actors of his generation, reads the Gospel of Mark. Recorded 28 March 2017.
