Below is Max McLean’s hour-long interpretation of the Gospel according to Mark, recited word-for-word from the NIV.

There is also a DVD edition of McLean’s one-man show, “Mark’s Gospel.” In 2009 I interviewed McLean about the production, when it was running as a live show in the Chicago Theater District.

I found this interpretation—absorbed in one sitting rather than piecemeal—to be an enriching, edifying experience.
