"Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher
Mark writes his biography of Jesus not only to record the story about Jesus, he also has discipleship to Jesus in mind. His central idea is that the life and death of Jesus shapes what the life of a follower of Jesus should look like.
In this volume of the New Testament Everyday Bible Study series, Scot McKnight explores the Gospel of Mark, a fast-paced narrative with over half of the content focused on Jesus final week. All along the disciples are observing and learning what it means to be a follower of this kind of Jesus.
The Gospel of Mark tells the story of Jesus telling parables, performing miracles, suffering resistance, and interacting with religious authorities from Galilee to Jerusalem. And during all that, he is preparing disciples to follow him then and after his resurrection.
In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament. Each volume provides:
- Original Meaning. Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage.
- Fresh Interpretation. Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus.
- Practical Application. Biblical connections and questions for reflection and application for each passage.

Editorial Reviews
▼▲'My favorite geniuses are the type that can communicate complicated ideas to Average Joe's like me. Scot McKnight's 'Everyday Bible Study' series is an elite example of this rare skillset. His short commentaries and Bible studies are robust enough to furnish content for a 40-minute sermon. Meanwhile, the excellent questions at the end of each passage challenge readers to figure out their response. His writings engage mind, heart, and body. This series is a gift to both preachers and congregants!' -- Matt Smallbone, Lead Pastor, Church of the City.
'My former professor is a gift to the Body of Christ! Scot has the unique ability to make New Testament scholarship accessible, compelling, and beautiful. The New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series will enflame your affections for Jesus and increase your desire to read the Bible.' -- Dr. Derwin L. Gray, founder and lead pastor of Transformation Church.
'Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity! Because God has given Scot the incredible gift of putting the proverbial 'cookies' of profound, biblical theology on a lower shelf - without diminishing the divine truisms - in a way that everyone can comprehend, wrestle with, and lean more fully into Jesus as a result. His writing style is engaging, his wisdom is revelatory, and his content consistently increases my affection for this redemptive love story we call the Bible. Dr. McKnight is pretty much a national treasure for Word nerds like me!' -- Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher.
'What a gift Dr. McKnight is to the Church! He's long been one of my favorite New Testament scholars because he helps Bible readers see the glory of Christ in everything he writes. The Everyday Bible Study series is no exception; you'll hear his pastor's heart on every page. The carefully researched commentary, insightful study questions, and recommended reading make these Bible studies accessible and deep. The entire series is excellent.' -- Kat Armstrong, author of the Storyline Bible Study series and host of the Holy Curiosity podcast.
