About this title

Synopsis

New exegetical commentary on the Gospel of Mark for preachers, Bible teachers, non-specialists.

Mark wrote his Gospel to explain why and how Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God who fulfils God's promises as he proclaims and embodies the coming kingdom of God. Mark emphasizes Jesus's authority and also his suffering and death as God's will for his messianic mission. Eckhard Schnabel's commentary seeks to help today's Christian disciples communicate the significance of Jesus and the transforming power of the good news.
