The Book of Mark

The Insight Bible Commentary Series (IBC) is designed with clarity in mind. Not only will you find clear explanations of what the Bible is saying but also unique insights into how you can apply God's eternal truths to daily living. The book of Mark is generally held to be the earliest account of the life of Jesus Christ. It clearly defines its purpose in the very first verse: "The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (Mark 1:1, NIV). From there, the narrative presents a rapid, almost urgent look at the life of Jesus Christ. He is shown to be the Son of God with great power and authority. Yet this mighty Son of God "did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45, NIV). Enjoy the readable commentary on the Book of Mark in a three volume set, including the entire Scripture text of Mark from the New International Version (NIV(R)) courtesy of Zondervan. Volume I covers chapters 1-6.
