{"product_id":"the-gospel-according-to-mark-the-pillar-new-testament-commentary-pntc","title":"The Gospel according to Mark (The Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC))","description":"This new Pillar volume offers exceptional commentary on Mark that clearly shows the second Gospel ― though it was a product of the earliest Christian community ― to be both relevant and sorely needed in today's church.\n\nWritten by a biblical scholar who has devoted thirty years to the study of the second Gospel, this commentary aims primarily to interpret the Gosepl of Mark according to its theological intentions and purposes, especially as they relate to the life and ministry of Jesus and the call to faith and discipleship. Unique features of James Edwards's approach include clear descriptions of key terms used by Mark and revealing discussion of the Gospel's literary features, including Mark's use of the \"sandwich\" technique and of imagistic motifs and irony. Edwards also proposes a new paradigm for interpreting the difficult \"Little Apocalypse\" of chapter 13, and he argues for a new understanding of Mark's controversial ending.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0802837344\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0802837344.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Edwards, James R.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
