Mark wrote his Good News for people who needed encouragement because they were suffering persecution from the Roman authorities and even from their friends and relatives. He gave them the good news that failure, fear, rejection, suffering -- even death -- are no longer insurmountable. Jesus has overcome them. This book combines contemporary scholarship with a readable pastoral style. Numerous reflection questions make this book ideal for group as well as individual study.Weber, Gerard P. is the author of 'Breaking Open the Gospel of Mark' with ISBN 9780867161922 and ISBN 0867161922.
