Description
Book SynopsisAlthough it appears second in the "New Testament", "Mark" is generally recognized as the first Gospel to be written. This work points out, the "Gospel of Mark" can be understood only against the backdrop of the apocalyptic atmosphere of the Jewish rebellions of 66-73 ce, during which the Roman army destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem (70 ce).
Trade Review"The long-awaited completion of the Marcus commentary on Mark has been well worth the wait. It provides the serious student of Mark one of the best commentaries available for the study of this Gospel. . . . Any serious student of the Gospel of Mark should possess this commentary."—Robert H.
