"For the better part of her distinguished career, Morna Hooker has
been a keen student of Mark's Gospel. In this commentary, she
forges from twenty years of research her understanding of Mark's
presentation of Jesus. With the sure touch of a mature scholar, she
guides the reader through the text of Mark in a non-technical way
that is both insightful and eminently readable. At a time in which
pastors and students face a veritable flood of new commentaries,
this one commends itself as a valuable yet manageable resource.
Those who use it will find it stimulating and enriching."
" Jack Dean Kingsbury, Aubrey Lee Brooks Professor of Biblical
Theology, Union Theological Seminary"In view of some recent
commentaries and interpretations of the Marcan Gospel, this is a
welcome relief. All readers, theologians, pastors, campus and
hospital ministers, and especially educated lay folk, will profit
from the study of Mark's Gospel with this commentary. It is a
balanced attempt to interpret Mark 'at every level, ' but primarily
from that of 'the evangelist himself'" how he understood 'the
nature of the good news about Jesus Christ.' Hooker has wisely
sought to summarize the theology of the Marcan Gospel, and she does
it well."
" Joseph A. Fitzmyer, SJ, Catholic University of America
