James R. Edwards is Bruner-Welch Professor Emeritus of Theology at Whitworth University, where he taught for nearly two decades. His book Is Jesus the Only Savior? won the 2006 Christianity Today Book of the Year award in apologetics. His other books include The Hebrew Gospel and the Development of the Synoptic Tradition, In the Beginning: A Commentary on Genesis and Its Reception in the New Testament, and commentaries on the gospels of Mark and Luke.
Southwestern Journal of Theology "The present volume should have broad appeal to lay persons, ministers, and scholars as it fits within Pillar's purpose of exacting, accurate exegesis without being overly technical. Yet, this commentary is not a lightweight: the text and footnotes reflect both rigorous research and a thorough use of the most recent Markan scholarship." The Bible Today "Based on the New International Version of the Bible and often making reference to the nuance of the Greek original, the commentary provides the reader with a clear, well-informed, and thoughtful interpretation of Mark's Gospel." Ralph P. Martin "James Edwards's new, careful study of the earliest Gospel brings together his interest in and ongoing research regarding Mark's work. He does so in a way that will have a broad appeal to a wide audience, including both the academic community and the service of pastors and teachers. This is an excellent piece of applied research and rigorous study."
