More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Mark for Everyone (with Luke for Everyone) starts this exciting new series. Tom Wright's own translation of the Gospel of Mark is combined, section by section, with eye-opening comments on the passage and what it might mean for us. Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Wright captures the urgency and excitement of Mark's gospel in a way few writers have.
About the Author
Tom Wright combines his scholarship with an ability to communicate warmly with non-specialist readers. A former teacher of New Testament studies at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and McGill, he is among the most interesting and respected New Testament scholars currently at work. He is the author of many books, including The Lord and His Prayer, Who Was Jesus?, The Challenge of Jesus and Twelve Months of Sundays: Reflections on Bible readings. Formerly Dean of Lichfield, he is currently Canon Theologian at Westminster Abbey and SPCK Research Fellow.

Format:Paperback
Easy to read and understand, this book gave me not only the historical background to the gospel, but also a greater understanding of the deeper meaning behind every part of it. It is a book to which I shall keep returning.

This book is a really great explanation of the gospel; it is written in plain english and explains the gospel, the context it is written in and the content is simple but informative. i got a lot from this book and i'm now collecting the other books in the series. Buy it, it's worth it

Format:Paperback
I thought that as Mark is the shortest gospel it would be sketchy and dull This book brought Mark to me as a vivid exciting read with a huge build up of tension in the story. I was as gripped as by any thriller. I thoroughly recommend it.

A helpful, simple, readable book
This book is helpful in getting insights into what Mark's gospel book means, especially in the context of the time it was written in. Really easy to read too.

Comprehensive but very readable
Wright approaches the gospel of Mark, as with all the books in his 'For Everyone' series, in a gentle manner, covering the story bit by bit in no more than three pages. Read more
