Resources on the Gospel of Mark

Best Commentaries lists three top commentaries for Mark (generally, this site does a good job telling you which commentaries are most respected on an academic level). Those commentaries are:
- The Gospel of Mark, by R. T. France
- The Gospel of Mark, by William L. Lane
- The Gospel According to Mark, by James R. Edwards
These are expensive and generally hard to find, but I have access to them via Perlego, what my seminary uses for textbooks. Please feel free to reach out to me about a specific passage, and I can get the comments on those passages to you!
Free commentaries out there are Warren Wiersbe’s New Testament commentary (which is generally helpful, but not always; he has some weird exegesis and theological positions), and John Calvin’s commentaries, free if you click here.
Dane Ortlund has put out a helpful 12-week study of Mark you can read along and take notes with. Find that by clicking here or asking me for a copy.
For help with the ending of Mark (Mark 16) see this page.
