A section-by-section guide to the study of Mark's Gospel, intended primarily for lay people who want a very brief introduction to the gospel that will highlight its essential message and can be used for individual or group reflection. It coincides with year B lectionary Gospel readings. Sinclair's work concentrates on discovering what Mark was saying to the Christian readers of his own time. He also provides a new translation of the Gospel which will help readers experience familiar material in a fresh way.
