a bump on the log of life

The bible is not a book that can be mastered. The great tragedy of the bible study is it has made the bible dull and boring. ... The bible is a book to be wrestled with. The bible is a dangerous, world-changing, life-altering text that is out to transform the reader.

And with that, I'm diving into my first pre-class assignment: to read the gospel of Mark straight through in one sitting.
