The Book: The Mark Experiment
Learning the whole structure of Mark’s Gospel might sound daunting, but The Mark Experiment makes it surprisingly achievable.
Written by Andrew Page, the book uses a simple memorisation method that helps people learn the flow and key events of Mark’s Gospel. Each section includes a brief explanation of the passage and shows how it connects to the wider narrative.
While The Mark Experiment was not originally written as a resource for the Mark Drama, it provides the foundation that makes the drama possible. Most participants can learn each of the six sections in around ten minutes, and after six weeks can confidently recall the major events of Mark’s Gospel in order.
More importantly, participants spend time engaging deeply with God’s word and becoming better acquainted with the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus.
“It really can be done! The learning is not onerous and the rewards are considerable.”
– a participant from the UK.
Memorising Mark’s gospel can be done anywhere – in the shower, on the bus, while you wait for your morning coffee… Whatever you are doing, you can be meditating on God’s word. It’s a wonderful way to become better acquainted with Christ’s life and ministry.
The Author
After 20 years as a missionary in Austria, Andrew Page is now a member of Above Bar Church, Southampton. While preparing to speak on Mark’s Gospel at a Bible conference, he found that the structure of Mark described in The Mark Experiment was transforming his relationship with Jesus. He wrote the book because he wanted other people to experience this too.
