The Gospel of Mark, addressed to an early Christian community perplexed by failure and suffering, presents Jesus as suffering Messiah and Son of God. Recognizing that failure and suffering continue to perplex Christians today, world-renowned New Testament scholar and theologian Francis Moloney marries the rich contributions of traditional historical scholarship with the contemporary approach to the Gospels as narrative. Now in paperback, this commentary combines the highest-level scholarship with pastoral sensitivity. It offers an accessible and thoughtful reading of Mark's narrative to bring the Gospel's story to life for contemporary readers.

A delightful surprise. I picked this one up for a lenten sermon series, because it was at a very reasonable price. I was very pleased with it. It is a balanced, upper mid-level commentary (you'll need some Greek to make the most of it). Although scholarly, it is still succinct, and compact.
