This book is NOT just a commentary… nor is it just a training manual, or a bible study leaders guide. It is all of these – and more! The trouble with Mark is that many of us think that we know it, so what is there to learn? Having read this book after 35 years of ministry I can testify – plenty! Teaching Mark is a superb resource for those of us who preach, lead bible studies or perhaps most of all need to teach ourselves first. It will not give you prepared talks – you will have to think and illustrate for yourself. But it will give you a clear understanding of the gospel of Mark and enable you to move from the big picture to the local application. Like the Gospel of Mark it is clearly structured, straightforward and gives you Christ. It answers the question it asks – ‘How do we preach and teach the gospel from the Gospels?’ The highest recommendation I can give is that despite having many books on Mark I will be buying Teaching Mark!

Read moreRobin Sydserff has preached through Mark three times in the last 10 years and taught this material in a variety of other contexts – it shows! He not only has a deep knowledge and love of the text but an infectious passion for the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Mark’s gospel is familiar to many but Teaching Mark will help any bible study leader or preacher to hear God’s voice more clearly and to teach His word more faithfully. It will inspire many to preach Christ and Him crucified from this great gospel!
