ANSWERS to "Bible Trivia for 700, Alex" posted on July 28:
Jeopardy (Basic): What is the Gospel according to Mark? (It is puzzling to most people that the author of Mark repeatedly describes Jesus as forbidding people to tell others that he is the messiah. Numerous explanations have been advanced, but no authoritative interpretation has come forward as yet.)
Double Jeopardy (Advanced): Who is William Wrede? (Pronounced VRAY-duh. Professor Wrede first put forward the term "messianic secret" in 1901. Not to be confused with Patricia Wrede, author of several very interesting historical-fantasy books aimed at adolescents.)
