Mark: A Devotional Commentary: Meditations on the Gospel According to St. Mark

by Leo Zanchettin

A devotional commentary on the Gospel according to Mark. Meet Jesus through St. Mark's eyes. This practical and easy-to-use commentary includes an introduction by Fr. Joseph A. Mindling. Drawing from solid Catholic scholarship, our devotional commentaries, edited by Leo Zanchettin, take a practical look at the books of the New Testament, inspiring readers to grow in their love for Christ. Each easy-to-read commentary contains the entire passage of Scripture from a particular book of the New Testament, broken into short segments, followed by a faith-filled meditation that helps readers understand the importance of the particular passage in their lives today. Historical background, relevance, and insight into church teaching are all combined with guidance in prayer in a way that makes Scripture come alive.

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is more devotional than commentary. As far as devotionals go it is worthwhile, though I did not find anything particularly noteworthy that stands itself out of the pack from so many other devotionals. It should be noted that it is written by a Roman Catholic so there are touches of that perspective, particularly in the mention of sacraments. In my view it is far less successful as a commentary. Take it as a devotional and you won't be disappointed.
