All resources are accessible freely to guests without registration. However, I am constructing numerous opportunities for extra learning opportunities that require a name and password. For instance, online worksheets keep track of progress and notes for those signed into the site, allowing users to return at leisure and find their place without difficulty. I am also creating a messaging service that allows registered students to ask questions and receive answers quickly; that too requires registration.

To avoid abuse of our study environment and place controls that ensure legitimate participation, I am instituting a manual registration process. If you desire to participate more fully in our classroom, simply email me with your email address and desired user name; you will then receive a login password, usually within twelve hours, that will register you and give you the ability to create your own profile password for personalized participation.

Mark

Mark was the traveling companion of both Paul and Peter, and wrote this Gospel from the Roman perspective. He was a seasoned veteran of the Christian walk, well versed in apostolic teaching, and had extensive missionary experience under wise guides. He was the cousin of Barnabas (Col 4:10) and participated in early stages of Paul's first missionary journey. For some reason he did not finish the journey, but went back to Jerusalem (Acts 13:13). Later on, Paul would not have Mark on his mission team because of this desertion (Acts 15:38). Yet in later years he and Paul were reconciled (Col 4:10; Philem 24). Paul regarded him as one of the few who were faithful to his ministry to the end (2 Tim 4:11). There is good evidence that this gospel reflects Peter's contributions, and that they had close ties (1 Pet 5:13). Tradition holds that Mark wrote primarily for a largely Gentile audience resident in Rome, as he seeks to encourage them to follow and keep following Jesus Christ.
