For more than a century, the Gospel of Mark has been viewed by scholars as the earliest written gospel and a primary source for Matthew and Luke. Yet it is the least studied of the four New Testament gospels. Daryl Schmidt's Scholars Bible edition, The Gospel of Mark, is essential reading for students, teachers, ministers-anyone seeking an accessible and in-depth acquaintance with this long neglected gospel. Includes the Greek text, introduction, notes, and cross-references.

Reviews
"The [Scholars Version] succeeds in its first goal, that is, to find fresh language that will make the narrative of Mark come to life for the modern reader. The text is alive, full of vitality, easy to follow and to understand. The text also impresses on the reader a kind of 'wholeness' ..." -Harvard Theological Review

"With Schmidt the reader is in good hands ... he writes as he teaches: lucidly, insightfully, and with evident passion for his field. This book merits taking some time to discover Mark all over again." -Amazon Reviewer
