A thorough commentary - Well worth sticking at.,
By
This review is from: Mark (The NIV Application Commentary) (Hardcover)
I am very glad I read this book. While I found it hard to get into, once I was past the first few sections I couldn't put it down. His strongest section is where he explores the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. David Garland challenges any romanticised pre-conceptions that the reader may have about the crucifixion and explores without apology the uncomfortable things about this gospel: the total failure of the disciples, that Jesus' last recorded words are "My God my God why have you forsaken me?" and the lack of appearance of the risen Christ (he stops at 16:8). I gained insight on a new angle on the death of Christ. I recommend this book to anyone interested in Mark or Jesus mission.

This review is from: Mark (The NIV Application Commentary) (Hardcover)
I have taught all the gospels multiple times. The NIV Application Commentary series is wordy, but right up there with the best of all the series. And this commentary on Mark is the best of all commentaries I have read on Mark.
