The Gospel according to Saint Mark. An introduction and commentary by C.E.B. Cranfield.

Cambridge Greek Testament Commentaries

by ed.) Bible. New Testament. Mark. (C.E.B. Cranfield

The last fifty years have seen a shift of emphasis in New Testament scholarship. When the task was to establish the text and to discuss the authenticity of the documents, linguistic and historical considerations came first. Now that these things are approaching a settled state it has become possible, and necessary, to give more attention to the theological and religious content of the New Testament. Hence the New Testament is re-examined by scholars in this new series. Each volume takes a book of the New Testament and, after an introduction on general matters, goes through the text in great detail, commenting especially on theological matters, relating the contents to the life and worship of the early Christian communities. It is assumed that students have their own Greek text beside the open commentary. The text on which the commentary is based is the Kilpatrick-Nestle edition.

This probably deserves another star, and maybe I would have got a little more out of it if I had a better handle on Greek. But still helpful discussion of most of the exegetical issues I faced in Mark.
