In The Gospel of Mark, Fathers Donahue and Harrington use an approach that can be expressed by two terms currently used in literary criticism: intratextuality and intertextuality. This intratextual and intertextual reading of Mark's Gospel helps us to appreciate the literary character, its setting in life, and its distinctive approaches to the Old Testament, Jesus, and early Christian theology. Includes an updated bibliography as an appendix.
". . . sets the standard for a comprehensive one-volume treatment of Mark for this generation."
The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"The commentary is highly recommended for the target audiences of the series (biblical scholars, students, theologians, clergy, religious educators, and interested non-specialists) and the authors are to be commended for producing a work that is both scholarly and genuinely useful and accessible to a wide variety of readers."
Toronto Journal of Theology
"Pastors will find this commentary spends more time in their hands and less on their shelves than others, and the congregations who hear their homilies and sermons will be enriched and challenged."
