I also like the idea of using Mark first. In addition to those cited, there aren't so many references to OT stories as what there are in Matthew, nor the theological complexities of John. | I certainly didn't get this impression from reading the posts, Leslie. I thought they were pretty balanced. Some prefer one or the other, most think starting with the OT is fine, if that's what's appropriate.
