Mark: A Commentary (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This commentary on the Gospel of Mark has a unique flavor. This comes from the fact that it is a layperson's commentary, written with scholarship that is 'hidden' in a conversational style. It is a devotional, reflective discussion about the Gospel of Mark. It will ruffle your feathers in places, as it asks the hard questions that one feels compelled to ask as you read the words of Jesus and reflect on his actions as well. Jim Reiher seeks to be honest and open as he reflects on each story and teaching in this Gospel. There have been a lot of books written on Mark, but this one, from an Australian Biblical scholar with a devotional emphasis, will prove to be most popular with those who use it. This book will be great for small study groups as well: the "Food for Thought" reflections after each main story or teaching block, bring the gospel into our own culture and times and cause us to ponder on how it can be applied in our context.

Autorenporträt

Jim Reiher lives in Melbourne Australia. He has four adult children and lots of grandchildren. Jim writes both fiction and non-fiction.

Regarding most of his non-fiction, Jim's serious side comes out, although sometimes he writes his non-fiction with humor, too ('Confessions of a Christian Magician' is a good example of that). Jim is a respected Australian Biblical scholar, with a MA in Theology with Honors, and 13 years of full time lecturing in Bible Colleges. Jim has published a number of books on topics ranging from Tarot Cards, to the Equality of Women in the Church, to how politics works in Australia. He has also written a number of commentaries on different New Testament books and letters: the Epistle of James, the Book of Acts, and most recently the Gospel of Mark.

Jim enjoys a nice quiet walk in 'the middle of no where'; a good movie; a good book; playing ten-pin bowling; writing; and spending time with his children and grandchildren.
