A Background and Application Commentary : Mark : Through Old Testament Eyes
Outline : Why does Mark describe John the Baptist's clothing, but no one else's? Why does it matter that the grass was green at the feeding of the five thousand?
Mark Through Old Testament Eyes is the inaugural volume in the Through Old Testament Eyes commentary series, focused on uncovering the Old Testament background to New Testament books. Author Andrew Le Peau explores the Old Testament context, references, and echoes that help make sense of Mark's gospel, allowing readers to better understand practices and concepts such as wilderness, baptism, Sabbath, fasting, and blasphemy. These insights provide clarity to otherwise puzzling words and events in Mark's gospel. In addition, Le Peau explains Old Testament allusions contained in the literary structures of Mark, such as parallels to the Exodus and the portrayal of Jesus as the true temple of God in contrast to the Jerusalem temple. Numerous tables and charts summarize key information and offer practical applications from Mark's gospel. Written for those who preach and teach the New Testament, as well as anyone interested in fresh insights into Mark's gospel, this volume will deepen and enrich one's understanding of both the Gospel of Mark and the Old Testament.
