Gospel of Mark: A Commentary

by Fancis J. Moloney SDB

The Gospel of Mark, addressed to an early Christian community perplexed by failure and suffering, presents Jesus as suffering Messiah and Son of God. Recognizing that failure and suffering continue to perplex Christians today, world-renowned New Testament scholar and theologian Francis Moloney marries the rich contributions of traditional historical scholarship with the contemporary approach to the Gospels as narrative. Now in paperback, this commentary combines the highest-level scholarship with pastoral sensitivity. It offers an accessible and thoughtful reading of Mark's narrative to bring the Gospel's story to life for contemporary readers.

This is a fine intermediate commentary that can serve both the serious student and scholar alike. Moloney's commentary is approachable, yet informative. His notes are for those doing more serious research. This does not approach the greatness he achieved with his Gospel of John, but it is a worthy contribution to the Markan commentary collection.
