Gospel According to Mark

"The Pillar New Testament Commentary is designed for serious readers of the Bible.  Writers of the PNTC volumes interact with the most important, informed contemporary debate yet avoid undue technical detail.  Their ideal is a blend of rigorous exegesis and exposition, scholarship and pastoral sensitivity, with an eye alert both to biblical theology and to the contemporary relevance of the Bible.  While the New International Version is the translation of choice for the English text, Pillar authors base their exposition on the Greek New Testament."
