Following the success of A Friendly Guide to the New Testament, renowned Scripture scholar Francis J Moloney turns to the Gospel of Mark – the earliest and most concise of the four Gospels. In its vivid and sometimes confronting narrative, Mark presents Jesus as healer and miracle worker, as well as the Christ, Son of Man and Son of God.
This accessible guide explores the structure of Mark’s Gospel while offering close readings of key passages. Scholarly yet engaging, it remains true to the spirit of the Friendly Guides series, combining clear explanation with thoughtful insight, enhanced by elegant design, images and calligraphy.
Written for all who seek to live by the Word of God, this volume opens up the power of Mark’s story – first told in simple Greek nearly two thousand years ago – and invites readers to encounter Jesus with fresh eyes.
Francis J Moloney SDB (1940–2025) was a renowned Australian New Testament scholar and Salesian priest, internationally respected for his interpretation of the Gospel of Mark. Known for his clear, insightful, and pastorally grounded scholarship, he authored more than fifty books and taught widely in Australia, Europe, and the United States. His work on Mark brings careful attention to the Gospel’s narrative power and its demanding call to discipleship.
