Opis

This engaging study provides a deeper understanding of the meaning of Jesus' life and ministry by exploring the extensive attention Mark's Gospel gives to Jesus' confrontation with temptation. Building on solid biblical exegesis and practical exposition, Susan Garrett discusses the ancient traditions related to the theme of testing/temptation and then explores Jesus' own experiences with temptation in Mark. She also considers the implications of Mark's message on testing for us today as we strive to faithfully follow "the way of the Lord" in the face of our own tests of affliction and seduction.
