Timothy J. Geddert views Mark as a profound theologian and
accomplished writer. not a mere compiler of traditions. Mark's text
provokes careful reflection on its subtle and challenging message
of hope and its call to follow Jesus on the way.
Mark's Gospel, with some riddles and puzzles, speaks of God as
revealed in Jesus of Nazareth. This Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God. Mark is about God's reign, its present hiddenness and future
glory, its surprising way of coming, and its challenge.
This Gospel is about discipleship, its costs and rewards, its
failures, and its renewal. Mark is also about grace, and the way
Jesus and his followers cross religious and social barriers to pass
grace on to those who have been excluded from it.
Mark's resurrection message is open-ende: readers supply their
own ending, not just in words, but by following the resurrected
Lord.
This book presents essays expanding on themes useful for
teaching, preaching, and Bible study; bibliographies; charts; two
maps; and an index of ancient sources. "Believers church" refers to
churches in the Anabaptist heritage of faith. Mark is the 14th
commentary to appear in the BCBC series, sponsored by six
denominations: Brethren Church, Church of the Brethren, Brethren in
Christ Church, General Conference Mennonite Church, Mennonite
Brethren Church, and Mennonite Church.
