A comprehensive, poignant and, at times, moving commentary on the Gospel of St.Mark, possibly the most concise and somewhat enigmatic of the Four Gospels.
Divided into chapters dedicated to specific verses, the writer starts with introductions that draw parallels to our era and our modern thoughts and perceptions, continuing with extracts from Mark and analysing the meaning of the passages as relating to the Past (the time of Jesus' earthly ministry) and our Present.
Ending with moving devotionals and enriched with questions that provide food for thought and give you plenty of material for your prayer journal, this book is a valuable guide to the Christian's study of a rather unique Gospel, regardless of denomination. (I am Greek Orthodox.)
