Product Description

▼▲

This is a priceless resource of the collection of biblical interpretations over time on eschatological matters concerning Christ. Focusing mainly on Mark 13, George R. Beasley-Murray lays out the conflicting interpretations and arguments of scholars over time. Beasley-Murray lays out the view and follows it by each scholar who supports that view and briefly explains their position. At the end of the book Beasley-Murray adds his own personal commentary on Mark 13 and what he understands about the last days.

George R. Beasley-Murray (1916-2000) served as Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Southern Baptist Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, and was a former Principal of Spurgeon's College, London. He is well known for his highly respected commentary, The Book of Revelation (New Century Commentary Series).

Publisher's Description

▼▲

Anyone wrestling with Jesus' understanding of the last days must begin by braving the tempest of controversy surrounding the interpretation of Mark 13-a passage on which it seems virtually every NT scholar of the last century has felt compelled to comment. From Strauss to Schniewind, Perrin to Drewermann, rabbit trails to roadways, Beasley-Murray charts the complex and sometimes confusing paths of interpretation. Obviously, any interpreter wishing to begin at ground-zero must take seriously the forces that have shaped the modern understanding of Jesus' words concerning the End. This study culminates nearly 40 years of research, for Beasley-Murray's passion for Mark 13 began in 1954 with the release of Jesus and the Future; the present volume is a completely revised and expanded edition of the former work, whose longevity as a centerpiece in discussions on Mark 13 warranted its revision and expansion.
