Although the shortest of the gospel accounts, the book of Mark is not lacking in importance. Written to a largely non–Jewish audience, it arose from a need for a quickly written, simple account of the life of Christ that affirmed his deity. Eric C. Redmond opens up this fast–moving book for us and highlights how Mark emphasises how the servant ministry of Jesus and reveals him as the authoritative Son of God to those who have simple faith in him, granting them entrance into the kingdom of God and calling them to service in the way of God.
