NICNT Mark

by William L. Lane

For those who want a more advanced, detailed analysis, reflecting the latest in Evangelical scholarship, this is an excellent commentary. In this commentary Mark is revealed as a theologian whose primary intention was the strengthening of the people of God in a time of fiery persecution by Nero. It begins with an introductory section discussing dating, occasion, literary style, and historical issues surrounding the gospel. The analysis is based on linguistic and historical research designed to draw out the meaning of the text. 652 pages.
