Summary
This work is a commentary on Mark itself, not a commentary on commentaries of Mark. It deals immediately and directly with matters that France himself regards as important. Working from his own translation of the Greek text and culling from helpful research into the world of first-century Palestine, France provides an extensive introduction to Mark's Gospel, followed by insightful section and verse commentary.
Author Biography
R. T. France recently retired as principal of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, and as rector of seven Anglican parishes.
