Andrew T. Le Peau was the long-time associate publisher for editorial at InterVarsity Press and taught the gospel of Mark for over a decade at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. He is also the author of Paths of Leadership and coauthor of Heart, Soul, Mind, Strength.
"A ground-breaking genial achievement--exceptional and virtually
unique! Of its many admirable features three shine brightly: its
user-friendly learning/teaching style laced with charts and
summaries; its discovery-edge in identifying copiously Old
Testament contexts for specific texts, verses, and phrases; and its
attention to narrative structure and themes. A winner for both
classroom and church group study. Though long a Markan scholar and
author, I here found new treasures. Read and enjoy!"--Willard
Swartley, Prof. Emeritus of New Testament, Anabaptist Mennonite
Biblical Seminary (6/27/2017 12:00:00 AM)
"Andrew Le Peau identifies a principal obstacle to reading the
gospel of Mark with comprehension, namely the woeful lack of
familiarity with the Hebrew Scriptures that were so formative for
the authors of the New Testament writings and for Jesus himself. In
Mark Through Old Testament Eyes, Le Peau lays out a great number of
Old Testament background texts that might be at play in each
passage of Mark's Gospel, many of which are genuinely illumining.
Alongside this, he gives extensive attention to ways in which the
literary structure of Mark serves as a pointer to meaning. Le
Peau's passion for discipleship formation is, of course, evident
throughout."--David A. DeSilva, Distinguished Professor of New
Testament and Greek, Ashland Theological Seminary (6/12/2017

"Imagine you were born color-blind and did not know it. One day, a
doctor hands you a pair of glasses that correct your vision.
Suddenly, you see the true splendor of the world. You thrill at the
beauty of the details, the wonder of the contrasts, the sheer
marvel of the patterns that had always been there but, previously,
missed. This is what it is like to read Andrew Le Peau's superb
commentary. I had no idea there was so much of the Old Testament in
the New. Whether you are a preacher or teacher seeking to usher
others into the deeper meaning of familiar texts, or simply a
person of faith eager for a more penetrating encounter with God's
Word, this book will be an eye-opening resource to which you will
return again and again. Why did it take so long for someone to
develop an approach to Scripture study as illuminating and useful
as this one? I will buy every book that comes out in this
series."--Daniel Meyer, Senior Pastor, Christ Church of Oak Brook
