Product Description

"The Gospel of Mark", part of a series of daily study readings of the "New Daily Study Bible", incorporates the kind of language that is more appropriate for 21st century readers. The language has been updated to make the essence of Barclay's work accessible to new readers, as well as those who already enjoy his commentaries. Quotations are now taken from the New Revised Standard Version (Anglicized edition) and archaic references have been either omitted or explained. The commentary also offers explanations of contexts, sources of quotations and other details.

Brings to life the most overlooked Gospel
Mark's Gospel is rich with the teachings of Peter, with some personal insight from Mark who was a boy in Jesus' last days. Barclay does a wonderful job of bringing us into Mark's Gospel and explaining the circumstances and meanings of Jesus' words and parables, without putting any personal spin on them. The English translations don't always do the Greek words justice, and Barclay helps develop the rich meanings of the Greek language we often lose in our translations. To read Barclay is to read Jesus as if He were here teaching us, which, really, He is.

Makes reading the Gospel of Mark interesting.
Barclay's style is very easy to read. He makes reading the Gospel of Mark very interesting. Just reading about Jesus' miracles is good, but having Barclay to read alongside the miracle stories was fun! Planning on using it in my Bible Study class.
