Mark Volume 2 9-16 A Print On Demand Title
$53.99
The fullest commentary ever to come out on the Gospel of Mark, this monumental work by Robert H. Gundry, reflecting years of painstaking scholarship, presents a well-argued alternative reading of the Greek text of Mark. Gundry turns from form and redaction criticism, both of which he considers largely inapplicable to Mark, to a very close reading of Mark’s text as it stands – a reading that pays special attention to such literary devices as word order, chiasm, inclusion, asyndeton, and the historical present tense.
Driving the commentary is Gundry’s provocative thesis that the Gospel of Mark constitutes a straightforward apology for the apparently shameful manner of Jesus’ death; as such Mark is essentially an evangelistic tract rather than an obliquely written handbook of Christian discipleship and church life. Besides positing this bold, seldom-defended thesis, Gundry’s commentary contains these features:
*Thoroughness of treatment, including extensive interaction with other interpretations and detailed discussions of authorship, date, etc.;
*A defense of the Papian tradition, including Mark as getting his materials from Peter;
*A rejection of the view that Mark 13 reflects the Jewish war of 66-70 C. E.
*A lengthy excursus on the Secret Gospel of Mark;
*A rejection of currently popular ironic, polemic, and other symbolic interpretations;
*New literary critical arguments supporting the view that Mark did not originally end at 16:8; and
*A massive bibliography.

Prayer
$18.00Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Songs of Jesus Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.
Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.
With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.
Dr. Keller’s previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he’ll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.
