Highly respected Catholic author and apologist Jimmy Akin presents a thorough commentary on the Gospel of Mark. Because much of Mark overlaps with the Gospels of Luke and Matthew, Akin believes that the straightforward narrative found in Mark’s Gospel is under-studied and therefore under-appreciated. His commentary opens readers’ eyes to the value of this shortest Gospel. In addition, Akin provides a biographical sketch of Mark and an overview of the facts surrounding his Gospel—how, when, where, and why it was written, and for what audience.
