Dr. Margaret Blom writes:--The Revd. Karl Przywala's engaging volume is especially valuable in being a collection of sermons that move sequentially through every chapter of Mark, thus allowing the reader to fit carefully explained details into the ongoing sweep of the narrative.These sermons, which were delivered at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Vancouver, BC between March 2014 and April 2016, are written in a clear, graceful style; they are sparked with humour and attention-getting points and are designed to encourage people in their Christian lives by applying Mark's words to their personal situations.Karl has a remarkable ability to make complex ideas understandable without watering down the material. He combines erudition with wit, offering historical context, explication of the text, and references connecting Mark's words to relevant sections of the Old and New Testaments. While not a formal commentary on Mark, this sermon series illuminates the Gospel, making its overall pattern clear and its message applicable to the present.One does not often find a book that presents solid biblical teaching and scholarly explanation in clear, straightforward language leavened with colloquial anecdotes. Karl's The Gospel According to St.Mark is a pleasure to read and study and it will make a valuable addition to one's library of Christian literature.
