Mark (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries)

R. Alan Cole offers commentary on the book of Mark, thought to be the first Gospel written and a source allegedly used by both Matthew and Luke in the writing of their Gospels. Cole discusses the probable identity of Mark, the priority of his Gospel, various historical and modern views of Mark, and much more. The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable, and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament. These Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date, and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.
