The Gospel of Mark


Jerry Hejka-Ekins presents a discussion of this gospel as a literary
(as opposed to an historical) work, in light of the world views and
beliefs of the Greeks, Romans and Jews at the time. He proposes that
the Gospel of Mark is not an historical, but rather a literary work
with a spiritual message, such as other stories of the time, like
those about Heracles and of Odysseus.

He is Editor of The Serapeum and Associate Editor of Theosophical
History. He is past president of Los Angeles Lodge (Adyar) and an

Wisdom and numerous theosophical articles and reviews. He has an MA

Thesis on W. B. Yeats' relationship with H.P. Blavatsky, the

and plays.
