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. 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’ pain, joy, and fervent dedication as He walks the earth, touches lives, and ultimately conquers sin and death through His crucifixion and resurrection.

The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from 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.

Short and simple. Below average based on my expectation for a study guide due to very surface level questions. There’s very little outside a copy of the text and lines to write answers on.

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

Not too bad! Some good historical insights, and thought provoking study questions.
