Not even 'Mark' is identified as the author in theory, 'Mark' could have simply related a series of events and stories to someone else who collected them, edited them, and set them down in the gospel form. With these values in place, the Pillar commentaries will continue to be warmly welcomed by pastors, teachers and students everywhere. Updated on JThe text of the Gospel According to Mark does not specifically identify anyone as the author. These attitudes are reflected in the profoundly Christian stance of the PNTC authors toward the text.
When God speaks to us in his Word, those who profess to know him must respond with reverence, a certain fear, a holy joy, and a questing obedience.
1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they. 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Underlying the approach of this series is the fact that God stands over against us rather than we in judgment of him. 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God 1:2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Mark. Discoursing on the extent of Christ’s ministry, the intentions of Mark’s record, the progression of prophecy, and the fulfilment of the lawAddison critically examines the text verse-by-verse. Their ideal is a blend of rigorous exegesis and exposition, scholarship and pastoral sensitivity, with an eye alert both to biblical theology and to the contemporary relevance of the Bible. The scholars writing these volumes interact with the most important, informed contemporary debate yet avoid undue technical detail. Marks Gospel stresses the deeds, strength, and determination of Jesus in overcoming evil forces and defying the power of imperial Rome. Designed both for serious students and for general readers of the Bible, the PNTC volumes seek above all to make clear the meaning of the text of Scripture as we have it. Like any other commentary series, The Pillar New Testament Commentary has specific aims.
