Summary

The first full-length critical commentary on the Greek text of Mark to appear in English in a long time. Gundry says that Mark constitutes a straightforward defense of the apparently shameful manner of Jesus' death, and as such Mark's Gospel is essentially an evangelistic tract rather than an obliquely written handbook of Christian discipleship and church life.
