Mark for the Nations

More about the book

Focusing on the perspective of an early Gentile-Christian reader, this commentary offers a fresh translation of Mark's Gospel, incorporating Hellenistic material that is often overlooked in gospel analyses. Aimed at theology students, pastors, and laypeople, it employs literary criticism and text linguistics while avoiding complex jargon. Hartman seeks to enhance modern readers' comprehension of the evangelist's message by translating traditional terms into more accessible language, making it a unique resource for understanding the text's historical context.
