Mark's Gospel takes us to the heart of Jesus's mission, and vividly presents us with the teaching and actions which turned the world upside down. In this warm-hearted commentary, Chris Moore pays particular attention to Mark's use of the Old Testament and draws upon a wide range of global and historical Christian writings to show how deeply subversive Jesus is. Mark is a short Gospel, but it is far from simple. It is rich with doctrine and invites his readers to follow the Christ who is none other than the Son of God.
