On Sunday, August 26 I begin a series of 10 sermons from The Gospel of Mark entitled Jesus Unleashed. I wanted to share a few of the resources that have been very helpful to me in preparing the sermons.

In my previous entry I have already mentioned The Gospel of Mark: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary by Ben Witherington.

Also helpful have been —
