Coming from a family greatly involved in art dealing, Vincent van Gogh was destined to have a place in the world of art. Van Gogh’s unique techniques and use of color, which clashed and differed greatly from the masters of the art world of his time, would eventually gain him the recognition as one of the founders of modern art. Van Gogh’s early life was heavily influenced by the role of his father who was a pastor and chose to follow in his footsteps. Although he abandoned the desire to become

Mark begins Chapter 4 with a parable of a sower. In this, the sower throws seeds that land in three conditions: the path, unfit ground, and good soil.

Human Responsibility As described in the growing seed parable, the sower has no divine identity in the text. This is evidenced with the use of the term used, “man”, and the activity, or the lack of activity, by the sower after the seed is spread upon the ground. The sower is described as sleeping during the night and displays no activity during the day toward the seed (4:27).

one needs to understand the nature and purpose of the parable. The parable of the sower is considered as the great watershed of all Jesus’ parables.
