Gospel of Mark Notes

June 25, 2009 · 6 Comments

As mentioned in the previous post, I’m doing a 29-day walk-through of the Gospel of Mark with eight TFCers, reading about half a chapter each day and emailing study notes and devotional thoughts each day. At Jared’s request, I’m posting the notes here.

I’ll try to link each day’s notes as I complete them, starting with today’s (Mark 7:1-23) as well as gradually going back and posting and linking older notes. I’m not posting each set of notes as a separate blog entry because that would be too much traffic (I try to keep the blog to a max of 2 posts a week).

Credits: Up until Chapter 4, I was just using Scrogge’s Guide to the Gospels and a single-volume commentary by William MacDonald. For Chapter 4 and later, I borrowed Mark Lind’s Pillar commentary by James R. Edwards (edited by D. A. Carson), which has been excellent.
