May 2 Mark’s Gospel As Told By Max McLean
We will continue our study of the Gospel of Mark by viewing a performance British actor, Max McLean, in which he tells Mark’s Gospel. The DVD performance is 1 ¾ hours long; please feel free to attend and stay just for the usual class time of one hour or for the entire film.
Review: British actor Max McLean brings the Gospel of Mark alive with freshness and excitement that draws us in. Using only simple props and a darkened stage, McLean does what the old radio shows used to do, weaving a spell in which the audience uses imagination to recreate the scenes that Mark wrote 2000 years ago. Mark's gospel is the most fast-paced and least philosophical, and hearing it told without interruption as it was originally meant to be transports the viewer to another time and place and helps us feel as if we were hearing the story for the first time.

American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation, by Jon Meacham
Review excerpt: The American Gospel–literally, the good news about America–is that religion shapes our public life without controlling it. In this vivid book, New York Times bestselling author Jon Meacham tells the human story of how the Founding Fathers viewed faith, and how they ultimately created a nation in which belief in God is a matter of choice.

At a time when our country seems divided by extremism, American Gospel draws on the past to offer the perspective that neither extreme has it right. At the heart of the American experiment lies the God of what Benjamin Franklin called “public religion,” a God who invests all human beings with inalienable rights while protecting private religion from government interference. It is a great American balancing act, and it has served us well.
