Christianity Today Book Award Winner The early church valued the
Gospel of Mark for its preservation of the apostolic voice and
gospel narrative of Peter. Yet the early church fathers very rarely
produced sustained commentary on Mark. This brisk-paced and robust
little Gospel, so much enjoyed by modern readers, was overshadowed
in the minds of the fathers by the magisterial Gospels of Matthew
and John. But now with the assistance of computer searches, an
abundance of comment has been discovered to be embedded and
interleaved amidst the textual archives of patristic homilies,
apologies, letters, commentaries, theological treatises and hymnic
verses. In this Ancient Christian Commentary on Mark, the insights
of Augustine of Hippo and Clement of Alexandria, Ephrem the Syrian
and Cyril of Jerusalem join in a polyphony of interpretive voices
of the Eastern and Western church from the second century to the
seventh. St. Mark's Gospel displays the evocative power of its
story, parables and passion as it ignites a brilliant exhibit of
theological insight and pastoral wisdom. The Ancient Christian
Commentary on Mark (now in its second edition) opens up a
long-forgotten passage through the arid and precipitous slopes of
post-Enlightenment critical interpretation and bears us along to a
fertile valley basking in the sunshine of theological and spiritual
interpretation. In these pages we enter the interpretive world that
long nurtured the great premodern pastors, theologians and saints
of the church.
