In story after story and chapter after chapter of Mark's Gospel, Patricia Dallmann approaches the text with senses attuned to the Light Within, an orientation in keeping with that of seventeenth-century Friends (Quakers). Though in accord with the faith and message of these first Friends, Dallmann offers insights that are original and, at times, accompanied by illustrations from her own life. Mark's Gospel is seen to be a practical guide that stands ready in every age to alert those of living faith to the dangers they will face, the responsibilities they must assume, and the Spirit they will embody while navigating their passage through the world. Mindful of the inward reality to which the Gospel alludes, Dallmann provides paths of understanding that have been found in Truth and are presented with reason. Thus, readers will find this book to be a clear, sound, and useful examination of the Gospel of Mark.

Reviews for A Quaker Reading of Mark's Gospel: To See the Invisible

""Patricia Dallmann's commentary on the Gospel of Mark offers a spiritually insightful, figurative reading of the text. Drawing on Quaker tradition, she emphasizes inward transformation through the Spirit of Christ rather than outward law or ideals. Dallmann critiques literal and intellectual interpretations, urging readers to seek personal, experiential knowledge of God. Her chapter-by-chapter analysis highlights themes of unity, suffering, discipleship, and inner renewal, presenting Jesus as teacher, Messiah, and the source of spiritual wholeness."" --Charles Martin, Former Publisher, Inner Light Books ""I so enjoyed Dallmann's A Quaker Reading of Mark's Gospel that I often balked when someone disturbed me. Pat's comments on the biblical text clarify the particular passages and identify their underlying relationships, tracing patterns that offered me another layer of guidance for my spiritual life. Her sprinkling of vignettes from her own experience balanced my reaction between the excitement of new understanding and the validation of personal example. I am eager for my second reading."" --Susan Smith, Former Clerk, Ohio Yearly Meeting
