–Mark–
Mark’s Gospel is highly subversive and challenges disciples in ways that are unique from the other three accounts of Jesus’ ministry. His narrative addresses Christian audiences who know Jesus’ teaching and who have made a Christian confession but who are failing to grasp the character of the gospel as thoroughly shaped be the cross of Christ.
Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.
