Description: “Guided by Dawn Ottoni Wilhelm, preachers will find in the Gospel of Mark not only important things to say on the passages in this great Gospel but also a sense of the urgency and excitement in saying them. Wilhelm is in tune with the meaning of Mark, and she comprehends its power and significance for today.” —Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor of Preaching, Candler School of Theology
In this engaging treatment of the Gospel of Mark, Dawn Ottoni Wilhelm combines biblical scholarship with a close reading of the Gospel text to meet the needs of preachers today. Swift and purposeful, the Gospel of Mark proclaims God’s reign and urges the participation of all God’s people in the witness of the good news that God has transformed human reality through Jesus Christ. This insightful commentary helps that message come alive while providing pertinent suggestions about how preachers can proclaim this message to today’s churchgoers. Subjects: Bible, New Testament, Synoptic Gospels, Mark, Literature
