Explore the first Gospel through the expert lens of Professor Adela Yarbro Collins in this Hermeneia commentary from Fortress Press. This scholarly work applies the latest historical-critical perspectives to the text of Mark, addressing complex and controversial topics such as the relationship between the canonical Mark and the "Secret Gospel of Mark." Collins provides a deep analysis of the Gospel text, including its longer endings, while situating the enigmatic portrait of the Messiah within the broader context of first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman literature.
