 Sowing the Gospel 

This commentary is precisely written and in depth. In this excellent commentary on the Gospel of Mark, Professor Tolbert takes the "Parable of the Sower" and uses it as an interpretive tool to understand the story and meaning of the Gospel text. This method helps the reader of the Markan story interpret the many characters within the Gospel narrative. Highly recommended.

Fundamental Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic

-
Dr. Andrew H. Bartelt is a professor emeritus of the biblical languages at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. He retired in 2020 after 42 years of professional service.   Dr. Andrew Steinmann studies Hebrew, Aramaic languages, apocalyptic literature, and biblical studies. These two professors are biblical language scholars.   Fundamental Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, Second Edition is a textbook and Biblical study resource for university and seminary students, pastors, and scholars alike. This is well written and approaches learning Hebrew a bit differently than other grammar textbooks.   This textbook is outstanding in every way.

This book is designed for individuals who have a grasp of the basic tools and presuppositions.   I received

NKJV Evangelical Study Bible

    The NKJV Evangelical Study Bible is a fantastic Bible for anybody to use for study, either academic or devotional. It is appropriate for people of all faiths to use. This Bible focuses on mainstream evangelical theology in order to strengthen your faith. It contains a wealth of historical and contextual information, analysis, essays, biographies, full-color maps, and much more. 10.5 Comfort is the font size. 2K/Denmark created the print for the Thomas Nelson NKJV. It was produced using line-matching, which means that the text is in the same place on both sides of the page to improve readability. This is a special edition. The red and black lettering are both dark. The red letter is burgundy in color. The text has enough white space to be extremely readable. This Bible does use quite a bit of color accents, that some may not prefer. To me, they are subtle enough that it is not distracting and seem mostly helpful to navigate. The NKJV Evangelical Study Bible is a well-crafted study B

Gospel of Mark Carter

  The Wisdom Commentary (WC) series is the first scholarly collaboration to offer detailed   feminist interpretations of every book of the Bible.   The unique Wisdom Commentary series is pleased to welcome Carter's insightful and nuanced exegesis of the Gospel of Mark.  This review will be on the Gospel of Mark’s commentary in the Wisdom Commentary series.  Warren Carter is the LaDonna Kramer  Meinders  Professor of New Testament at Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is the author of eighteen books and is a regular presenter at scholarly conferences and in church contexts.  Carter is well suited to write this commentary on the Gospel of Mark.  Making judgments is the purpose of comments. When working with a gospel, the commentator must make several decisions about what to include and what to omit  in order to  best serve the reader. It's uncommon to see commentary that carefully considers what to include and avoid. This gospel is unique because it emphasizes J
