There were times in Harold Wicke's commentary when he mentioned that something was just conjecture, but there were other times when it seemed he was certain about something without giving Biblical or historical proof. I didn't like that. I appreciated all the times that he did include Scripture references when he was cross-referencing or further explaining something. And I don't know if it was the author or the editors who included this, but listed below every section of Biblical text the reader can see where this account can be found (or not) in the other 3 Gospels. I used that tool frequently as I read.

I picked up this book to help support my knowledge and understanding in a bible study on the book of Mark that I was leading. I love the book of Mark and this book really helped bring more clarity and understanding to everything. Highly recommend.

Mark, good news for the Gentiles, our Savior was born, died for our sins, and raised to proclaim victory. The message is simple, yet so many misunderstand our free gift from God. Reading all four Gospels helps us all understand the undeserved love showered upon on us by God.
This book provides a brief description of scripture found in Matthew. Mark wasn't trying to prove to the Gentiles that Jesus was the Christ as Matthew was writing to the Jews. This is what Jesus showed and taught through his ministry, as Mark relays to us. Even on the cross, when the angry crowd asked for him to come down and save himself, they were ignorant of the fact that they had rejected him as he was fulfilling God's promise and love for all sinners.

Peter's scribe is Mark! In many ways Mark briefly writes the details that Matthew expands upon. To understand Christ's life, it is important to read all of the Gospels and pay attention to how they relate to each other. (4th Reading)
