Die Kirche ist ebenfalls daran interessiert und sorgt dafür, dass der Mythos aufrechterhalten bleibt. Immerhin ist der Weg auch ein lukratives Geschäft. Benannt ist der Weg nach dem Apostel Jakobus, der nach der Himmelfahrt Jesu angeblich auf der Iberischen Halbinsel predigte.

Wir hören oft den Satz: "Du musst nur daran glauben". Aber was bedeutet "glauben"? Ist es ein blinder Sprung ins Ungewisse? Etwas, worauf man ohne Beweise vertraut? Was versteht die Bibel darunter? Glaube bedeutet, Gott zu vertrauen und seinem Wort zu folgen, erklärt R.C. Sproul in diesem Buch. Anhand einer Untersuchung von Hebräer 11 zeigt er: So wie das Volk Gottes in der Vergangenheit sind wir heute gefordert, Gott in Schwierigkeiten und trotz einer ungewissen Zukunft zu vertrauen.

Mark doesn't waste words in his Gospel. His Jesus, the Jesus, is a man on a mission, determined, racing. Mark doesn't waste words, but his words pack a punch and his brief descriptions beg for deep reflection. Like a passenger in a car driving quickly, we can easily miss the details of the landscape if we don't pay careful attention. Mark sets us on a race, but it's important to stop along the way. A Path Strewn with Sinners sets us on Jesus' race to the cross, but it also insists we take time to ponder, to notice what Mark notes, and what he doesn't.
