Synopsis

As the earliest of the gospels, Mark is arguably the foundational text of Christianity, summarising the core of Jesus' teaching. Vivid, immediate and provoking, it is in essence the preaching of Peter, Jesus' closest disciple, calling men and women to a more radical discipleship. Peter's Preaching brings to life the content and meaning of Mark's Gospel for contemporary readers, combining the in-depth analysis of a commentary with the accessibility of Bible reading notes. Each chapter explores a key theme from Mark, covering every verse in the Gospel while also showing how the text links together as a whole. It is a valuable tool for those preaching and teaching the Bible, as well as those embarking on theological study and any wishing to deepen their grasp of this Gospel.
