Description
Book SynopsisOffers a translation of "Mark 8-16". This title situates the narrative within the context of 1st-century Palestine and the larger Graeco-Roman world; within the political context of the Jewish revolt against the Romans (66-73 C.E.); and, within the religious context of the early church's sometimes rancorous engagement with Judaism, pagan religion.
Trade Review"It deservedly takes its place among the best half-dozen commentaries on Mark in English, French, and German in current use on the international scene and will remain a standard work for at least a generation. . . . One of the best-informed Markan scholars of our time. . . . Without detriment to its scholarly level, the commentary proceeds in a readable and conversational tone. The two volumes are well-indexed, equipping the conscientious interpreter with resources, dialogue partner, and a model for responsible interpretation."—M. Eugene Boring,
