The Gospel According to Mark: Vol. 2 (2 pc) - Marie Noonan Sabin
This book is part of the series New Collegeville Bible Commentary. The absence of stories of Jesus birth and infancy, a minimum of Jesus parables and a resurrection scene without sight or sound of the risen Jesus have tempted readers to shortchange Marks Gospel. Thanks to the insightful analysis and inspiring reflections of Marie Noonan Sabin, anyone studying this premier Gospel with her guidance will recognize the genius of the original author. Sabin asserts that Marks Gospel is not an eyewitness account or a work of biography or history. She writes, What Mark gives us is far richer. He interprets Jesus in the light of the Hebrew Bible, showing Jesus to be not only a teacher of Wisdom but Wisdom itself, calling his followers to an unconventional wisdom, a way of living (and a way of dying) that he himself exemplifies.
The cover of this commentary from The Saint Johns Bible highlights Sabins thesis that the transfiguration of Jesus is pivotal to the Gospel: The scene [9:2-8] overshadows both parts of the Gospel, emphasizing Gods creative, transforming, transfiguring power to restore life. Sabin gives special attention to Marks key words and phrases (e.g., release, rise up or be raised, straightway, and ecstasy) and his pattern of twos and threes. Especially helpful are the summaries at the end of each chapter. Here is a commentary that will restore Marks prime place among the other two Synoptic Gospels.
Reviews
"Hartin provides clear, well organized commentary."
-Writing Works
"This short sample is typical of Sabins ability to bring readers along, leading us to a fuller understanding and appreciation of familiar bible stories and connecting them to one another and to the Old Testament. "
-Writing Works
Marie Noonan Sabins description of the Markan narrative is likewise applicable to her fine commentary: Rich in Scripture, theological in purpose, and brilliant in design, Marks Gospel (and Sabins commentary) invites its readers to become followers of Jesus transfiguring wisdom." -Gregg S. Morrison Simpson University Redding, California
Marie Noonan Sabin, Ph.D. has taught the Gospel of Mark at Bangor Theological Seminary; an earlier book on Mark, Reopening the Word, was published by Oxford University Press in 2002.
