Overview
An expert guide from Galillee to JerusalemThis new resource examines the major literary units of Mark's Gospel with an eye toward helping the pastor in sermon preparation. Rather than major themes, Thurston guides the reader through the lectionary readings and how Mark's work offers a wealth of materials for Christian life and reflection.
Editorials
Library Journal
Armed with a lectionary guide and a Scriptural index, Thurston (William F. Orr Professor of New Testament, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary; The Widows: A Women's Ministry in the Early Church) has written a fine, patient, scholarly, and well-reasoned explication, pericope by pericope, of the Gospel of Mark. Each section offers at least one reference to a work for further study. Clear, persuasively written, and palatable, it is a splendid example of the merits of the publisher's preaching resources. Curious readers with even a light background in theology can also use it as an ideal introduction to the texts of Christian Scripture. Highly recommended.
