Publisher's Description
The Gospel of Mark is an invitation to anyone open to the stories told by believers about Jeshua, the son of Mary, about his life and especially his compassion for those excluded from society and struggling on the margins. Although Mark's Gospel was considered inferior to the other three common to Christians, most scholars today have come to recognize it as the first attempt to give an overall view of the life and death of Jeshua, making it the pioneer of a new literary genre.

“Kreilkamp walks through Mark's Gospel chapter by chapter, attempting to unveil the deeper and fruitful meanings of the Jesus story in light of Mark's, his own, and other scholars' personal struggles and discoveries. He makes the stories come alive and challenges the reader to continue this process.”
“H. D. Kreilkamp highlights Jeshua's urgency to proclaim the reign of God and how Jeshua came to serve others, giving his life as a ransom for many. The insights to various passages of Mark's Gospel are stimulating. Penetrating and reflective questions are asked throughout the chapters. The scholarly research is very readable and helpful to understand Mark's Gospel.”
