The Gospel according to Saint Mark (Black's New Testament Commentary)

About this book

Since its appearance nearly thirty-five years ago Blacks New Testament Commentary has been hailed by both scholars and pastors for its insightful interpretations and reliable commentary. This Blacks volume injects fresh life into the series. Basing her observations on her own new translation of the Greek text Hooker explores pericope by pericope what the author of Marks Gospel wanted his original readers to understand what he says about the historical Jesus and the early community of the faithful and what he conveys theologically throughout the entire Gospel.
