Dr. Barclay explains why the first three Gospels are called synoptic, how they came to be written, and how scholars have concluded that Mark's was the first. Touching on Mark's own life, he discusses the rift that Mak occasioned between Paul and Barnabas, Mark's sources of information about Jesus, the characteristics of his Gospel writing, and mystery of the "lost ending.

I'm looking forward to reading the entire series,
This review is from: The Gospel of Mark (The Daily Study Bible Series) (Paperback)
Reading this commentary was like having a daily conversation with a deeply learned companion. Barclay's remarks are always insightful. Without being dogmatic, he brings Mark's prose alive. His understanding of the original Greek and of the customs and mores of the ancient world provides helpful context to the story. What a wonderful personal tutor! I now am reading his book on the letters to the Corinthians and will read the entire series.

Makes reading the Gospel of Mark interesting.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gospel of Mark (The Daily Study Bible Series) (Paperback)
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.

A great book about the Good Book!,

This review is from: The Gospel of Mark (The Daily Study Bible Series) (Paperback)
50 years and this is still a great book in a great series. Unlike so many popular Christian books that become dated over time, William Barclay's Daily Study Bible just seems to get better. He has excellent historical material. He offers valuable insight that will apply to your life as we begin the third millenium. You will be glad you bought this book, or any of the others Barclay wrote in the New Testament Series.
