The Gospel According to Mark

Toward the end of Thurman's life he held "sessions for spiritual renewal" through the Howard Thurman Educational Trust. These sessions were for emerging African American leaders around the United States who were open to "examine the bearing of these elements on the life and the fulfillment of those of us whose roots are in the Black community" (Against the Hounds of Hell, Eisenstadt, p. 376). These seminars were dynamic spaces of reading and reflection, with Thurman often reading a gospel text in its entirety for seminar participants. In these recordings, you will be able to hear Thurman read the Gospel of Mark in it's entirety, very similarly to the way those participating in these seminars would have heard it.
