The mark experiment

Have you ever tried to memorize a part of the Bible, e.g. a complete book? The gospel of Mark has a very intelligent structure that is very easy to memorize. It is the set of headlines like they are printed above a section in the Bible. This structure is basis for e.g. the Mark theatre, where 15 actors play the complete gospel in 90 minutes in a theatre-in-the-round without any stage props. This is very impressive. Anyway, memorizing the gospel is a very good idea for studying the Bible without the physical book. This app is meant to be a training to people who already learned the structure (partially) anyway, as a smartphone is much quicker in use than a non-interactive piece of paper. It is based on the book published by VTR Publications. The app can walk trough three different levels of the structure: The complete gospel, one of the six parts (or the introduction or conclusion) or a midsection. For every step, four possible answers are shown to select the correct one. Afterwards, an emoji rates the quality and quantity of your recitation. To get a good rating, you need be fast without thinking about all choices.
