Mark (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament)
In this new addition to the BECNT series, respected New Testament scholar Robert Stein offers a substantive yet highly accessible commentary on the Gospel of Mark. The commentary focuses primarily on the Markan understanding of the Jesus traditions as reflected in this key New Testament book. For each section in Mark, the author analyzes how it fits the immediate and larger context of the Gospel; offers verse-by-verse comments on the words, phrases, sentences, and themes found in the section; and explores what Mark is seeking to teach. As with all BECNT volumes, Mark features the author's detailed interaction with the Greek text. It combines academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility to serve as a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers.

When Novels Were Books
A literary scholar explains how eighteenth-century novels were manufactured, sold, bought, owned, collected, and read alongside Protestant religious texts. As the novel developed into a mature genre, it had to distinguish itself from these similar-looking books and become what we now call “literature.” Literary scholars have explained the rise of the Anglophone novel using a range of tools, from Ian Watt’s theories to James Watt’s inventions.

For the first three centuries of their history, novels came into readers...

Difficult Passages in the New Testament
This study constitutes a compilation of the author's previous books treating difficulties in the new Testament: Difficult Passages in the Gospels (1984), Difficult Sayings in the Gospels (1985), and Difficult Passages in the Epistles (1988). The author selects representative verses from the Gospels and Epistles, articulates the proper procedure for interpreting them, and then proposes a resolution of the perplexing passages. Stein promises that the student "will not merely 'solve' specific difficult passages but develop a comprehensive method of interpretation that can be applied to other passages as well."
