Marcus Borg is an internationally respected expert on the Gospels.  Here he offers the fruit of a lifetime’s research and reflection on the Gospel of Mark.

This book is ideal both for new Christians and for those who would like a fresh perspective on Mark’s portrait of Jesus. It includes thoughtful questions for group study or private reflection.

Borg is one of the very few New Testament scholars of our age whose learning is so lucid that it takes the Bible back from the specialists and makes it available in all its complexity and splendor to the general reader: nothing short of a blessing, even a miracle!Peter Gomes, Professor of Christian Morals, Harvard Divinity School

In every generation there is a handful of writers of whom it can be said, ‘Read everything they write.’  Marcus J. Borg is one of these today.Walter Wink, Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Auburn Theological Seminary, New York City
