Laurel Cobb s three decades of social work and advocacy on behalf of the disadvantaged in emerging countries around the globe inform this powerful book on the Gospel of Mark. Cobb combines academic insights into scripture with personal experiences of social inequities around the globe and a strongly articulated argument for resistance against Empire (then and now) as a crucial component of any life of Christian discipleship.After an introduction and brief glosses on the structures of imperial power in first-century Palestine and in our contemporary world, Cobb delves into the text of Mark over 16 additional chapters. She parses Marcan passages that might be well-known to the reader with a fresh eye, offering insights into the scriptures and applying those insights to the experience of the contemporary reader.

Editorial : "This is not your ordinary biblical commentary on the Gospel of Mark. It is not written by a New Testament scholar but by a woman who has labored for over 30 years as a social worker, management consultant and public health worker in over 35 countries.

The book provides vivid visual and verbal examples of the challenges to contemporary discipleship and how to live and witness to Christian life today." ----Catholic Press Association
