Description
The Gospel of Mark by William L. Lane is a comprehensive commentary that explores the theological purpose behind this foundational Christian text. Using redaction criticism as its approach, Lane examines how the evangelist's primary aim was to strengthen the people of God during a time of intense persecution. Lane considers the Gospel of Mark as a total literary work, describing the creative role it played in shaping the Gospel tradition and exercising a conscious theological purpose. This commentary provides both insight into how the text was received by its original audience and a modern analysis of Mark within the context of contemporary Gospel research. A thoroughgoing work that balances scholarly rigor with accessibility, Lane's commentary is suitable for both specialists and non-experts seeking to understand this pivotal Christian text.
