In this second volume of his four volume work on the text of Mark's Gospel, Craig S. Keener provides an in-depth critical and exegetical commentary on Mark chapters 5–9.
As befits an ICC volume Keener brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis—linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological—to provide a complete overview and understanding of these chapters. Keener provides a close reading of the text and incorporates the wealth of secondary scholarship in providing readers with a highly comprehensive commentary that offers new insights into the meaning and development of the text.
The text covered in this volume focuses largely on the healings of Jesus including the raising of Jairus' daughter, the Canaanite woman's daughter, the deaf mute and the man born blind. Also featured are the feeding of the 5000, Peter's confession of faith, and Jesus' predictions of his death. This part of the Gospel finishes with the Transfiguration.
