Product Description
Synopsis
Like any other commentary series, The Pillar New Testament Commentary has specific aims. Designed both for serious students and for general readers of the Bible, the PNTC volumes seek above all to make clear the meaning of the text of Scripture as we have it. The scholars writing these volumes interact with the most important, informed contemporary debate yet avoid undue technical detail. Their ideal is a blend of rigorous exegesis and exposition, scholarship and pastoral sensitivity, with an eye alert both to biblical theology and to the contemporary relevance of the Bible. Underlying the approach of this series is the fact that God stands over against us rather than we in judgment of him. When God speaks to us in his Word, those who profess to know him must respond with reverence, a certain fear, a holy joy, and a questing obedience. These attitudes are reflected in the profoundly Christian stance of the PNTC authors toward the text. With these values in place, the Pillar commentaries will continue to be warmly welcomed by pastors, teachers and students everywhere.

I discovered the latest - and welcome - addition to the Pillar series just in the last few days - and I bought it. This book is the result of long term research and a desire to communicate the message of this book which is so often treated as the "little brother" of the Gospels.
Edwards seeks to bring out the detail in the text and to make it lead to real discipleship - a theme he reiterates throughout the book. This commentary will enhance the Mark shelves of any serious reader - and we believe that it will also enhance one's spiritual life. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.

This commentary has a nice balance between popular use for study or preaching, and academic depth. It does not cover much you will not find in other commentaries on Mark, and it may be a little conservative for some. However,it will repay careful study and thought many times over
