Thanks, Julie. This year instead of taking a harmonized approach to Holy Week, we read strictly from Mark. Biblical studies neophyte that I am, I never realized that the ending of Mark is somehow different from the rest of the gospel. A different author? Later? Is it less reliable than the rest of the gospel? The edition I was reading indicated that there was some kind of textual junction after Mark 16:8, but didn’t explain further. Can you give me a thumbnail version of the textual issues there?

Looking forward to the volume, Julie.

I, too, like those verses in Mark 16, the minimalist account of the empty tomb. In fact, I read them verbatim from the pulpit on Sunday for my testimony, along with a selection from Luke 24 on the disciples on the road to Emmaus. I don’t care if it was fast and testimony meeting — in a Christian church, someone ought to give an Easter sermon on Easter Sunday, so I did.

Yes. (Or “amen” if you prefer.)
