"The Evangelist" is a story of John Mark as it might have happened. What we "know" about John Mark, the author of the Bible's Gospel of Mark, is divided into two sources: canonical (in the Bible) and non-canonical. We can be certain of only the Bible's facts. Some of the other sources for his life are doubtful; some conflict with each other; some are likely true. Author Robert Simms sees in facts, tradition, and conjecture the story of a young man like many others of his time, drawn to the powerful figure of Jesus of Nazareth. Converted at Pentecost, this Mark goes on to be a leader of churches, a missionary, and the author of what was probably the first life story of Jesus: the Gospel According to Mark. Follow this imagining of Mark built around the structure of facts history gives us. Learn how Mark interacted with Paul and Peter and Barnabas. Discover the discipleship of a real, historical person, not a gilded, stylized painting, in this possible story of a boy who grew up in the days of Jesus Christ, became his follower, lived for him faithfully, and died doing his will.
