Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The fourth volume in the Biblical Explorations series from bestselling New Testament writer Paula Gooder turns to the earliest and most urgent of the Gospels: the Gospel of Mark. Direct, fast-paced and vivid, Mark's Gospel has long captivated readers with its immediacy and unvarnished portrayal of Jesus' ministry. In this volume, Paula Gooder opens up Mark's distinctive voice, exploring its structure, themes and theological vision, and tracing the dynamic way it announces the good news of God's kingdom. Moving through the Gospel section by section, she sheds fresh light on Mark's storytelling, his portrayal of discipleship, and his striking emphasis on mystery, challenge and revelation. Particularly helpful for preachers, the book demystifies unfamiliar terminology, clarifies key concepts and offers vital historical and literary context that brings Mark's narrative into sharper focus for today's readers. Biblical Explorations is an exciting series offering accessible and informed study of the best-loved texts in Scripture. Rooted in the conviction that deeper understanding of the Bible leads to deeper discipleship, it is an essential resource for preachers, teachers and study-group leaders, as well as anyone who simply wants to know the Bible better.
