Mark: The Humanity of Christ

MacArthur Bible Studies

by John F. MacArthur Jr.

The Gospel of Mark, more than any other Gospel, gives us precious glimpses into Christ's humanity. Pastor John MacArthur will take you through the book of Mark, passage by passage, so that you can better understand Mark's unique perspective and the astounding humanity of Christ. Jesus amazes His followers—those in the past as well as His disciples today—as He teaches, heals, performs miracles, casts out demons, and raises the dead. Mark's account shows Christ using every opportunity, despite resentment and persecution from His enemies, to show God's awesome power. Through Mark's writings, we follow Jesus' very human pain, joy, and fervent dedication as He walks the earth, touches lives, and ultimately conquers sin and death through His crucifixion and resurrection. —ABOUT THE SERIES— The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur.

Good, but not deep enough. This gets conversation started, but it just doesn’t go to great lengths. It’s a good beginner, but the chapters shove multiple Bible chapters together. I’ve heard MacArthur preach though and I know he can do much more.

Again, great commentary in addition to the Biblical text. I did feel that compared to Matthew's commentary, Mark's was not as thorough.
