A Beginner's Guide to Mark Norman Baron McCormick

A Beginner's Guide to Mark is just that; it is a comprehensive explanation of Mark, Mark's audience, and the culture in which Mark wrote his book. The Bible is a tough book. One of the reasons it is so difficult is the fact that we as readers aren't 1st century people living in Judea. Mark did not write his book to 21st-century people. That makes it difficult to understand. A guide to Mark is not a commentary. It is not a book that explains what Mark meant to tell his audience. Instead, a Guide to Mark seeks to give you the tools as a reader to read Mark yourself and decide what Mark intended to tell his audience. A Guide to Mark will provide you with the foundation to read and enjoy God's word for everything Mark meant it to convey. I also recommend this book for people looking to do a bible study with someone else. This book is a product of a study I did with a friend in my church, if you are looking for simple study material for a small group or one on one discipleship, this book is perfect for you.
