Description

A missionary-scholar who has been studying and teaching the Gospel of Mark for over forty years, Dr. Mulholland is an insightful expounder of its message, guiding us through this account of Jesus the mighty miracle-worker who is the Messiah of all nations. Informed by the best of academic research, Mulholland's lucid and detailed study will prove eye-opening as well as soul-challenging for its readers. --Dr.Vernon C. Grounds, Chancellor, Denver Seminary During his many years of work as a missionary in Brazil, the Rev. Dewey Mulholland was enabled to strengthen the church there in a most strategic way. In the seminary he helped found in Brasilia, the capital, he made the inductive study of the Bible in Portuguese central for the training of Christian workers. He wanted to teach people how to study the Bible for themselves. No boring sermons and Bible lessons from these graduates! Studying the Bible the way Mulholland taught them, they keep coming up with new, exciting insights into the inspired meanings of the Bible. Learning to comprehend the biblical text for themselves, his students often opened Mulholland's eyes to vital insights into the Marcan meaning. This English version of his Marcan commentary makes this accumulation of insights available to us in the Euro-American world. Seeing the significance that Mark has for people in Latin America helps us to be more enlightened world Christians. --Dr. Daniel P. Fuller, Senior Professor of Hermeneutics, Fuller Theological Seminary The author skillfully combines Mark's emphasis upon Jesus as the Messiah whose Kingdom embraces people of all nations, with his portrayal of the Servant who reigns through suffering. This message is very relevant to the developing nations where many politicians and clergymen use their positions to dominate. I recommend this commentary, for it enlarges our understanding of the Messiah and calls upon us to fulfill the task Jesus has delegated to us. --Edouard Kitoko Nsiku, Ph.D., United Bible Societies, Moputo, Mozambique, Africa
