Mark’s fast-paced, powerful, and dramatic gospel takes the reader on a journey through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah, the most important person in human history. Mark L. Strauss uses a narrative and theological approach to introduce us to the narrative art, theological purpose, and theme of the evangelist.

The author highlights both the message of Jesus in proclaiming the kingdom of God and his mission, which is to suffer and die as a ransom for human sin. In turn, Jesus calls us to be his disciples and to live in obedience to that kingdom that comes into our lives.
