What Was Mark at: The Gospel of Mark: A Commentary

By Wilfrid J. Harrington

A look at the Gospel of Mark, paying special attention to the centrality of the cross. The story of Jesus as told by Mark is a story of human failure: the failure of Israel, the failure of the disciples, and the seeming failure of Jesus himself. For Jesus died abandoned by all - even, it seemed, by God. In the end all humans fail; God alone succeeds. The Father had not abandoned the Son, but had raised Jesus from the dead. "It is rich and thought-provoking and is written in language accessible to any educated reader."--Catholic Library World " Harrington] observes that Mark set the pattern for the Gospels through his special concerns with Christology and discipleship."--New Testament Abstracts.
