Mark’s gospel is the shortest of the four first century books which share the story of Jesus of Nazareth, and the most vividly told. Luke's gospel stresses how acceptance of Jesus’ message means a complete reversal of worldly standards of success.

It combines the insights of more academic works with a clear set of interpretations. The writer explains about Matthew’s Gospel as seeing Jesus as the fulfilment of Judaism. As Proctor quotes, ‘The hinge of history hangs on the door of a Bethlehem stable.’ What is good about the commentary is the way its subtitles are a free gift to those who are preparing sermons, with sound-bite-like phrases that do neatly summarise the key teachings. Proctor sees a pattern in the gospel narrative, where word is followed by deed. He shows us that Matthew is a gospel which clearly spells out the cost of the commitment of being a disciple of Jesus. The book is an easy-to-read text which will be useful for both preachers and those who lead home groups. The use of prayers at the end of the sections of the commentary is a terrific idea, helping us to see that Bible study can be prayerful and hopefully transformative. The book enables us to see the familiar in a new way, and in those passages we have struggled to understand, it gives us clear help.

Insisting that the gospel should be read as a literary work, not just a collection of extracts, France anticipates Rowan Williams’ view that Mark delivers a unique encounter with the living presence of Christ. France’s Jesus is a divine action man from the beginning, his story a drama in three acts. Miraculous days in Galilee are swiftly followed by Jesus’ failed attempts to prepare his disciples for what lies ahead in Jerusalem. As antagonisms deepen, France anatomises the growing tensions around Jesus’ identity as the Messiah, emphasising the geopolitical implications of each stage of his journey. Five thousand Jewish men follow Jesus expecting military leadership only to receive a miraculous picnic. As his mission expands, four thousand Gentiles are given the heavenly crumbs from under their table. In Jerusalem, pilgrims from Galilee hail Jesus as the Messiah; a local crowd calls for his crucifixion. The commentary’s strength derives from France’s exhaustive knowledge of Old Testament sources, that net of meanings that shaped the life of Jesus and scripted his self-understanding. As the disciples struggle to understand poetic parables of the new Kingdom, France seems equally bemused. His action driven Jesus has no time to be loveable.

Dividing the gospel into manageable segments, the author takes us through his interpretation of this account of Jesus’ life, with frequent explanations of particular episodes in the context of other Old and New Testament passages. A key strength is the easy-to-read explanations of certain Hebrew and Greek words, which do not interrupt the flow of the reading experience in any way. The comparisons between Luke and the other gospels are highly informative. I also valued the contextual information about Luke’s ability as a historian and the authors’ focus (both Luke and Wansborough!) on the role of women in the gospel. The writing style is extremely clear, and each segment is enhanced by a short prayer at the end for those who would like to approach the text in this way. A slight criticism is that, occasionally, the odd phrase sounds a little dated, but I stress that this is small point. This book would suit Readers and other lay ministers wanting an approachable means of learning more about the gospel either for themselves or for preaching purposes. A good opportunity to learn more than you realise in an easily-digested format.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBess Brooks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn - Richard E Burridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth commentary, on John’s Gospel, is written by Revd Professor Richard Burridge, former Dean of King’s College, London. He describes it as one in which ‘a child may paddle but an elephant can swim deep’. The book begins with a detailed introduction and overview of the gospel, exploring themes, background and key words. The writing has an energy which excites the reader to ‘plunge in’ and learn more. This is followed by close commentary on the text, broken up into 107 small sections, each ending with a short prayer. The book is therefore suitable for both personal daily study and meditation and for reference. The commentary is very readable and a goldmine of interesting facts and comments, often referring back to the original Greek. The small sections, although self-contained, never lose the sense of being part of a greater whole. The book ends with comprehensive notes, references and glossary. For those who preach or prepare Bible studies this is an invaluable resource, and I would recommend it to fellow-ministers and students. Above all, it enables the reader to go deeper into the stories of Jesus: to ponder his identity as light, logos, shepherd and Passover lamb; to watch him turning water into wine and death into life and to encounter the Jesus who is Christ – and God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApril McIntyre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActs - Loveday Alexander\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis elegantly written commentary, from a leading New Testament scholar, is highly recommended. There is a thoughtful introduction which provides a useful and comprehensive context, without overwhelming the reader with academic detail – although the author is clearly familiar with all relevant research and viewpoints. Thus, Professor Alexander provides Greek translations only when these illuminate the original meaning. Her deep knowledge of the text, and of the Bible generally, means she can provide an interesting and original insight for nearly every passage. To provide but one example, the shipwreck narrative of Acts Chapter 27 is beautifully amplified by cross references and allusions to the Book of Jonah and Psalm 107, while also emphasising Paul’s sacramental role during the journey. This commentary therefore enables all readers to understand the structure and purpose of Acts, the character of Luke its author, but above all the nature of the very early Church, the complexity of the first century Roman Empire, and the varied philosophies of the Mediterranean world. It is ideal for ministers who need a reliable guide for preaching and for Bible study groups, for there are points for reflection or prayer pointers after every pericope. Each reader cannot fail to gain in understanding how the Good News was proclaimed in those first exciting decades after the resurrection of our Lord.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlice Burdett\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-12-06T17:37:09+00:00","created_at":"2021-11-11T12:25:54+00:00","vendor":"John Proctor, Dick France, Henry Wansbrough, Richard Burridge, Loveday Alexander","type":"Pack","tags":["Biblical engagement","Centenary Classics","Centenary Collection","KCLC","The People's Bible Commentary"],"price":3999,"price_min":3999,"price_max":3999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41005053313215,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800390935","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"The People's Bible Commentary: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts: A Bible commentary for every day","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":3999,"weight":1448,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800390935","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/PeoplesBibleCommentary_slipcase.jpg?v=1675431731","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935A.jpg?v=1675431731","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935B.jpg?v=1675431731","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935C.jpg?v=1675431731","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935D.jpg?v=1675431731","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935E.jpg?v=1675431731"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/PeoplesBibleCommentary_slipcase.jpg?v=1675431731","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":26626239922367,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.674,"height":1783,"width":1201,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/PeoplesBibleCommentary_slipcase.jpg?v=1675431731"},"aspect_ratio":0.674,"height":1783,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/PeoplesBibleCommentary_slipcase.jpg?v=1675431731","width":1201},{"alt":null,"id":23287713202367,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935A.jpg?v=1675431731"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935A.jpg?v=1675431731","width":1000},{"alt":null,"id":23287713235135,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935B.jpg?v=1675431731"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935B.jpg?v=1675431731","width":1000},{"alt":null,"id":23287713333439,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935C.jpg?v=1675431731"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935C.jpg?v=1675431731","width":1000},{"alt":null,"id":23287713300671,"position":5,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935D.jpg?v=1675431731"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935D.jpg?v=1675431731","width":1000},{"alt":null,"id":23287713267903,"position":6,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935E.jpg?v=1675431731"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800390935E.jpg?v=1675431731","width":1000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eThe People’s Bible Commentary series presents scholarly insights in straightforward terms, aiming to instruct the head but also to warm the heart, and pointing to how the truths received can be applied personally.

As his mission expands, four thousand Gentiles are given the heavenly crumbs from under their table. In Jerusalem, pilgrims from Galilee hail Jesus as the Messiah; a local crowd calls for his crucifixion. The commentary’s strength derives from France’s exhaustive knowledge of Old Testament sources, that net of meanings that shaped the life of Jesus and scripted his self-understanding. As the disciples struggle to understand poetic parables of the new Kingdom, France seems equally bemused. His action driven Jesus has no time to be loveable. Mary Magdalene does not even get a name check!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiana Barsham\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuke - Henry Wansborough\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf you are interested in learning more about the context, language and focus of Luke’s Gospel in a very accessible manner, then this commentary is a strong starting point. Dividing the gospel into manageable segments, the author takes us through his interpretation of this account of Jesus’ life, with frequent explanations of particular episodes in the context of other Old and New Testament passages. A key strength is the easy-to-read explanations of certain Hebrew and Greek words, which do not interrupt the flow of the reading experience in any way. The comparisons between Luke and the other gospels are highly informative. I also valued the contextual information about Luke’s ability as a historian and the authors’ focus (both Luke and Wansborough!) on the role of women in the gospel. The writing style is extremely clear, and each segment is enhanced by a short prayer at the end for those who would like to approach the text in this way. A slight criticism is that, occasionally, the odd phrase sounds a little dated, but I stress that this is small point. This book would suit Readers and other lay ministers wanting an approachable means of learning more about the gospel either for themselves or for preaching purposes. A good opportunity to learn more than you realise in an easily-digested format.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBess Brooks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn - Richard E Burridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth commentary, on John’s Gospel, is written by Revd Professor Richard Burridge, former Dean of King’s College, London. He describes it as one in which ‘a child may paddle but an elephant can swim deep’. The book begins with a detailed introduction and overview of the gospel, exploring themes, background and key words. The writing has an energy which excites the reader to ‘plunge in’ and learn more. This is followed by close commentary on the text, broken up into 107 small sections, each ending with a short prayer. The book is therefore suitable for both personal daily study and meditation and for reference. The commentary is very readable and a goldmine of interesting facts and comments, often referring back to the original Greek. The small sections, although self-contained, never lose the sense of being part of a greater whole. The book ends with comprehensive notes, references and glossary. For those who preach or prepare Bible studies this is an invaluable resource, and I would recommend it to fellow-ministers and students. Above all, it enables the reader to go deeper into the stories of Jesus: to ponder his identity as light, logos, shepherd and Passover lamb; to watch him turning water into wine and death into life and to encounter the Jesus who is Christ – and God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApril McIntyre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActs - Loveday Alexander\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis elegantly written commentary, from a leading New Testament scholar, is highly recommended. There is a thoughtful introduction which provides a useful and comprehensive context, without overwhelming the reader with academic detail – although the author is clearly familiar with all relevant research and viewpoints. Thus, Professor Alexander provides Greek translations only when these illuminate the original meaning. Her deep knowledge of the text, and of the Bible generally, means she can provide an interesting and original insight for nearly every passage. To provide but one example, the shipwreck narrative of Acts Chapter 27 is beautifully amplified by cross references and allusions to the Book of Jonah and Psalm 107, while also emphasising Paul’s sacramental role during the journey. This commentary therefore enables all readers to understand the structure and purpose of Acts, the character of Luke its author, but above all the nature of the very early Church, the complexity of the first century Roman Empire, and the varied philosophies of the Mediterranean world. It is ideal for ministers who need a reliable guide for preaching and for Bible study groups, for there are points for reflection or prayer pointers after every pericope. Each reader cannot fail to gain in understanding how the Good News was proclaimed in those first exciting decades after the resurrection of our Lord.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlice Burdett\u003c\/p\u003e"}

In this compact guide he packs in a vast amount of information about the saints of the early church together with practical hints for visiting the places where they lived and worked in Britain and Ireland. Some, like St David of Wales or St Columba of Iona, are well known; others less so. I had not previously heard of Sennach of Illauntannig or Seiriol of Penmon, among others. Many of them lived on small islands accessible only by boat and restricted by tides or poor weather. Each chapter starts with the story of the saint’s life followed by information about the location and the author’s recollections of visits to the site and its effect on the pilgrims. Thoughts for reflection, a Bible reading, a black and white photo and an original poem are included in each case. The armchair traveller will find inspiration, and those active enough may be motivated to visit some of the places featured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Laura Hillman \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaptist Times online 07.12.24.

Review by Laura Hillman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs well as being an established writer, the author is an experienced leader of pilgrimages to the Celtic fringes of our land. In this compact guide he packs in a vast amount of information about the saints of the early church together with practical hints for visiting the places where they lived and worked in Britain and Ireland. Some, like St David of Wales or St Columba of Iona, are well known; others less so. I had not previously heard of Sennach of Illauntannig or Seiriol of Penmon, among others. Many of them lived on small islands accessible only by boat and restricted by tides or poor weather. Each chapter starts with the story of the saint’s life followed by information about the location and the author’s recollections of visits to the site and its effect on the pilgrims. Thoughts for reflection, a Bible reading, a black and white photo and an original poem are included in each case. The armchair traveller will find inspiration, and those active enough may be motivated to visit some of the places featured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Laura Hillman \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaptist Times online 07.12.24.

This imbalance reflects the times about which the author is writing but the fact that they are included reflects the author's obvious awareness that all people and indeed all creatures are precious to the One who created them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eSensing the ‘dancing and swirling ripples’ on a river as a ‘sign of the Holy Spirit moving over the face of the waters’ (p165) may sound fanciful to readers of a more rational\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emindset, but certainly gives the flavour of the book’s approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eFor each sacred site considered, there is a brief story of the saint’s life associated with it followed by a usually slightly longer account of the location and things that have happened there to those on pilgrimages led by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eA poem, questions for reflection and an aptly and occasionally artfully (in both senses) chosen Bible passage, complete each chapter together with a photograph. Though the author is rather self-deprecating about his poetic skills, they were for me the most delightful part of the book and conjured up the sense of place and something of what it might be like to be on such a pilgrimage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eEach poem ends with a prayer that a particular characteristic of the saint concerned would also grow in the reader’s life also. Seven of these poetic prayer-endings mention the name of the saint concerned. I have chosen for brevity two of the shortest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eDear God, open the vents of heaven\u003cbr\u003ethat I may catch my breath at your wonders.\u003cbr\u003eFill me, that I may breathe upon the dimly burning wicks\u003cbr\u003eand the fragile fires burning in the hearts\u003cbr\u003eof your children in this beloved and yet wounded world\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eand let the compassion of Brigid\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ebe as a fire in the temple of my soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eLord grant to me a Cwyfan heart\u003cbr\u003ethat I may build homes of open hearts\u003cbr\u003eon the wild and shifting edges of this world,\u003cbr\u003eand trust in your unfailing love,\u003cbr\u003esturdy as a rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eIf these catch the wind of the Spirit in your sails, you will definitely enjoy the book.

Together with Russ Parker he has led pilgrimages around the British Isles to sites of Celtic saints. I had the pleasure to go with a group of pioneers on one to Ireland many years back which was wonderful. The book is a square format, and for each of the 23 Celtic saints has a photograph, story, description of location, a poem and some questions for reflection. When I went on the pilgrimage to Ireland Michael wrote and read a couple of the poems. It's obviously a great book if you are visiting any of those sites but equally is a lovely book for reflection anyway. The Celtic stories are always inspiring and resonate with pioneers in my experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Jonny Baker\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Methodist Recorder 01.11.24. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview by David Gleed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eMichael Mitton’s The Poetry of Pilgrimage is a lovely book of some 23 short chapters and while poetry is the focus, the well written location narrative that opens each new chapter provides a perfect setting for the verse that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eI have visited a number of the places included in the book and found myself instantly transported back to those windswept coastlines and distant islands, where the Celtic saints of old eked out a living and founded communities that lived the Gospel message and carried it far and wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eThe author is very much a story-teller in verse.
