Recensione

''Beavis brings to this commentary ample familiarity with the text of Mark and with ancient literature more broadly. Balanced in judgment and offering numerous astute observations, this work should prove highly useful, especially to serious readers seeking a reliable introduction and companion for their study of Mark's account of Jesus's ministry.'' --Larry W. Hurtado, professor of New Testament language, literature, and theology, New College, University of Edinburgh
