Christ came to set God's people free from disobedience, disease, and death -- and each of the miracle events was not a ""faith-healing"" but rather a battle won, in which Jesus provided a cure from something for something. That's the compelling theme of this fascinating study of ten miracle stories from the Gospel of Mark featured in Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary. Whether you're a busy pastor, church school teacher, discussion leader, or just an interested Bible student, There Are Demons In The Sea offers valuable and superbly organized background information -- Hoefler's scholarship, perceptive insight, and potent illustrative material make this volume an invaluable aid to preaching preparation or scriptural study. Chapter titles include: * The Gordian Knot - Mark 1:21-28 * The Miracle Of Forgiveness - Mark 2:1-12 * There Are Demons In The Sea - Mark 4:35-41 * The Good Grocer - Mark 6:30-44 * An Exile Of Silence Set Free - Mark 7:31-37 ... and more! Richard Carl Hoefler is a former Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Preaching and Worship at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, South Carolina. The author of ten books, Hoefler is a graduate of Wittenberg University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Oxford University.
