Mark 9-16 MacArthur New Testament Commentary

MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series

by John F. MacArthur Jr.

"The gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Those words not only begin Mark’s gospel, but they also capture one of its most important themes—one that continues throughout the final eight chapters, beginning with the transfiguration and culminating with the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. Taking into account the cultural, theological, and Old Testament contexts of each passage, MacArthur tackles interpretive challenges and fairly evaluates differing views, giving the reader confidence in his conclusions. The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk. A great resource for pastors, teachers, leaders, students, or anyone desiring to dig deeper into Scripture

Reviews

[John Brackbill · Rating 3 out of 5]

Here is the ranking of the single volumes I found helpful to read each week in preparation for an expositional series through Mark:
1. Struass (ZECNT); Edwards (Pillar); Hiebert
2. Lane (NICNT); Cole (Tyndale)
3. MacArthur; Hendrickson

Non-standalone volumes included
Wessel (EBC); Garland in ZIBBC (helpful with background); Later in the series I picked up Bock in the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary and found his brief comments helpful.

France and Keller I did not find consistently helpful and stopped utilizing them.
