This book will introduce you to the oldest gospel in the New Testament, the Gospel according to Mark. In addition to a look at the ways in which we currently study the Gospels, this book will comment on each of the passages in the Gospel of Mark. The final chapter of this book considers the Gospel of Mark as a whole, namely, its characteristic ways of presenting Jesus and the apostles; the meaning of miracles; echoes of the Old Testament prophets Elijah and Elisha; the relationships among the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke; and Mark's strong criticism of the early church.

Reviews for A Guide to Mark

""A Guide to Mark is a helpful introduction to the message and content of the Gospel of Mark. This accessible introduction will benefit those who desire to acquaint themselves with the content, themes, and challenges of this early gospel text. Hughes draws our attention to the rhetoric of this gospel and emphasizes the gains available to the contemporary reader who pays close attention to how the text works."" --Steven Bishop, associate professor of Old Testament, Seminary of the Southwest ""To the task of helping contemporary readers to understand the Gospel according to Mark, Frank Hughes brings his immense learning and deep pastoral experience. With clarity, thoroughness, and patience, he explores and explicates the distinctive message and style of this remarkable gospel."" --Cynthia Briggs Kittredge, dean emerita, Seminary of the Southwest ""Many Christian readers want resources that speak to our questions about faith and discipleship while satisfying our intellect. For Mark, Frank Hughes has given us that book. He provides scholarly context in prose anyone can follow, then works through the Gospel passage by passage."" --Greg Carey, professor of New Testament, Lancaster Theological Seminary, Moravian University
