Mark

By Bastiaan Martinus Franciscus Van Iersel and Bas M. F. Van Iersel

An incisive and comprehensive episode-by-episode commentary on the Gospel of Mark. There is a special focus on the contribution of each episode to the overall meaning of the Gospel, at both the level of the story and the level of the discourse. As a reader-response commentator, the author's concern is constantly with the effect of Mark's story on its readers, engaging both the situation of the original audience of Mark - Christians of Gentile origin in Rome shortly after the Neronian persecutions - and with that of the present-day reader.
