Mark
The Servant Ministry of Jesus
Eric C. Redmond
Part of Focus on the Bible series of commentaries
Tackles disputed longer ending of Mark
Reflective questions with each chapter
Although the shortest of the gospel accounts, the book of Mark is not lacking in importance. Written to a largely non–Jewish audience, it arose from a need for a quickly written, simple account of the life of Christ that affirmed his deity. Eric C. Redmond opens up this fast–moving book for us and highlights how Mark emphasises how the servant ministry of Jesus reveals him as the authoritative Son of God to those who have simple faith in him, granting them entrance into the kingdom of God and calling them to service in the way of God.
