In this first of two Word Biblical Commentary volumes on Mark, Dr. Guelich takes a two-fold approach. First, he seeks to understand the material of Mark's Gospel in its historical context. Second, he attempts to understand that material for contemporary faith. Throughout, Guelich strives to bring Marcan studies up to date. As always, the scholarly WBC format is accessible to both the student and preacher.
The Word Biblical Commentary delivers the best in biblical scholarship, from the leading scholars of our day who share a commitment to Scripture as divine revelation. This series emphasizes a thorough analysis of textual, linguistic, structural, and theological evidence. The result is judicious and balanced insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical theology. These widely acclaimed commentaries serve as exceptional resources for the professional theologian and instructor, the seminary or university student, the working minister, and everyone concerned with building theological understanding from a solid base of biblical scholarship.
