NICNT: The Gospel of Mark

In this widely praised commentary by William L. Lane, 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. Using redaction criticism as a
hermeneutical approach for understanding the text and the intention of the
Evangelist, Lane considers the Gospel of Mark as a total literary work and
describes Mark's creative role in shaping the Gospel tradition and in
exercising a conscious theological purpose. By taking care to indicate how the
text was heard by Mark's contemporaries while also placing the study of Mark
within the frame of reference offerend by modern Gospel research, Lane has
constructed a thorough-going work that is at once useful to scholars and highly
intelligible to non-specialists.'Lane is to be commended for his
splendid work. It is the best English commentary on Mark today, and it will be
a standard for years to come.' - Bibliotheca Sacra'The
