Product Description
Mark for Everyone (with Luke for Everyone) starts this exciting new series. Tom Wright's own translation of the Gospel of Mark is combined, section by section, with eye-opening comments on the passage and what it might mean for us. Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Wright captures the urgency and excitement of Mark's gospel in a way few writers have.

Customer Reviews
Easy read, well explained well worth it
This book is a really great explanation of the gospel; it is written in plain english and explains the gospel, the context it is written in and the content is simple but informative. i got a lot from this book and i'm now collecting the other books in the series. Buy it, it's worth it
exciting read
I thought that as Mark is the shortest gospel it would be sketchy and dull This book brought Mark to me as a vivid exciting read with a huge build up of tension in the story. I was as gripped as by any thriller. I thoroughly recommend it.
Comprehensive but very readable
Wright approaches the gospel of Mark, as with all the books in his 'For Everyone' series, in a gentle manner, covering the story bit by bit in no more than three pages. Excellent introductions in his own words, with a readable and concise commentary. By no means heavy, but accurate, and can be used for brief daily study. Highly recommended.
