[John Brackbill · Rating 3 out of 5]

Here is the ranking of the single volumes I found helpful to read each week in preparation for an expositional series through Mark:
1. Struass (ZECNT); Edwards (Pillar); Hiebert
2. Lane (NICNT); Cole (Tyndale)
3. MacArthur; Hendrickson

Non-standalone volumes included
Wessel (EBC); Garland in ZIBBC (helpful with background); Later in the series I picked up Bock in the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary and found his brief comments helpful.

France and Keller I did not find consistently helpful and stopped utilizing them.

[Luke · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not terribly complicated and he does make some interesting points. Helps point out how sections of Mark's gospel tie together and how the book is organized. He has written a lot of other commmentaries and it is annoying to send us to those for explanations of certain points. However, the book does okay without going to commentaries on other books.
I like to read a commentary on the book we will going through that year, and this is my second on Mark. CPH needs to get a Concordia Commentary out before the next go-round!
