I have uploaded the theology essay that I have just finished. The introduction is below. Click here to download the document.

The opening of Mark’s Gospel powerfully shows Jesus as associated with God and the Holy Spirit. As Messiah, Jesus brings about a new era. Mark’s depiction of the calling of the first disciples tells us something about the nature of discipleship. It is integral to Jesus ministry and is about the impact the disciple can have on others. Discipleship can also be a costly calling. This cost is paid in response to the authority of God’s only son.
