The Gospel of Mark has often been misunderstood as a historical narrative that describes the ministry of Jesus in Galilee and culminates with Passion Week and Jesus' journey to the cross. For many, Mark's decision to end the Gospel with merely an empty tomb leaves a void that scholars wish to fill. Prior interpretations overlook seeing the good news through Peter's experiences with the Christ-and the opportunity to respond, knowing the tomb is empty.

Based on nearly fifty years of research, teaching, and preaching, Dr. Herbert K. Jacobsen's Who Am I? offers a fresh perspective on the Gospel of Mark that highlights Jesus' opening statements: "The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the good news."
