Mark (Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary) by David E. Garland - August 2007: Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary

Study the Gospel of Mark on your own! Brand new 1st Edition!

Zondervan's Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary series is a biblically accurate and helpful tool for the Bible student who desires to understand both the text and culture. Garland's 116-page commentary provides a 'Bridging Contexts' and 'Contemporary Significance' format to help Bible students examine thoroughly each passage. There is an excellent chart contrasting the Passover and the Lord's Supper, Lists of Sidebars, an Index of Photos and Maps, and an exhaustive list of many abbreviations used in scripture study not found elsewhere.

Here's one review online: '…the book helps the readers to establish their Biblical knowledge to daily Christian life. From another aspect, there are not many exegeses books to the Mark (compared with other Books in the Bible). Therefore, Zondervan has devoted another precious message to self-study scriptures as well as ministering to modern Christians….' And another: "You will gain so much insight into the cultural background and literary themes/structure of Mark, that will help you better discern how to then apply the message of the book to your own life. Most commentaries fall short in one or both of those areas. Not this one!"
