Applying the Outer Circle Idea in the Gospels
February 28th, 2011 | Add a Comment
I wrote a post today on "Messianic Jewish Musings" in which I try to apply the idea of the outer circle, which we find as a theme in Mark especially (and Mark 4 is the central place where this theme develops).
Applications of gospel texts abound and there are infinite numbers of articles that could be written on gospel themes applied to life. In this post I am trying to take on one of the major problems in modern religion: crowd thinking and shallow affirmations of problem-free and populist faith. This is a nearly identical parallel to the outer circle phenomenon in Yeshua's time. Click here to read "The Outer Circle Around Yeshua."
