Mark: Fortress Commentary on the Bible

This commentary on Mark, excerpted from Fortress Commentary on the Bible: The New Testament, engages readers in the work of biblical interpretation. Raquel Lettsome connects historical-critical analysis with sensitivity to current theological, cultural, and interpretive issues.

The book is an introduction and commentary using three lenses: ancient context, the interpretative tradition, and contemporary questions and challenges. Mark: Fortress Commentary on the Bible introduces fresh perspectives and draws students, preachers, and interested readers into the challenging work of interpretation.
