The SCM Theological Commentary series enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and places.
This commentary, like each in the series, is designed to serve readers by demonstrating the continuing intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation of the
Bible.
This insightful theological exegesis of Mark will be of use to professors and students in New Testament and biblical interpretation courses, as well as clergy, church leaders, and libraries.
'This series places the accent on 'theological' and reflects current interpretive ferment marked by growing resistance to the historical-critical project. It may be that scripture interpretation is too important to be left to the exegetes, and so a return to the theologians.'
Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
