Readable, engaging, beneficial. Written for the educated layman. Many will take issue with some of his positions, his "new perspective" on justification being one glaring example.
I really enjoyed this work.

I love N.T. Wright. I learned so many things that I hadn't before, but it wasn't overly complicated. Read this series.

Mr. Wright continues his multi-volume examination of the New Testament with this single volume on the shortest Gospel story, the book of Mark. Mr. Wright captures the breathless pace that Mark's narrative moves through very well and also encapsulates his own theories and beliefs on the world-changing message of Jesus. His commentary on Mark 15, dealing with the crucifixion of Christ, is not to be missed. However, like his volumes on Matthew and (I'm sure) other volumes in this series, it is definitely more for the layman than a biblical scholar. Still, this is a fine complement to anyone's study of the New Testament in general and Mark in particular. If you are looking to dive in a little deeper into the Gospel, start here.
