Books by Ernest Best

Planned and written specifically for teaching and preaching needs, this critically acclaimed biblical commentary is a major contribution to scholarship and ministry.

The aim of this book is to illuminate the manner in which Mark understood Jesus' death. In this new edition, Professor Best looks at the Gospel as a continuous story, and by examining the general sweep of the narrative he attempts to show how Mark saw Jesus' death both as an atonement for sin and as creative of the new community of the Church.
