ON YOUR MARK
Reading Mark in the Shadow of the Cross
by Megan McKenna
240pp., PhP 260
In her first full-length
treatment of a synoptic Gospel,
the author of And Morning Came provides a roadmap for Christian discipleship.
Megan McKenna opens up the text, demonstrating what it meant to Jesus’
disciples and to the community that became the early church. Ever the
master storyteller, McKenna also presents stories that reinforce Mark’s
message as she proceeds chapter by chapter through the Gospel.
The People's Bible Commentary is planned to cover the whole Bible, with a daily reading approach that brings together both personal devotion and reflective study. Combining the latest scholarship with straightforward language and a reverent attitude to Scripture, it aims to instruct the head and warm the heart. The authors come from around the world and across the Christian traditions, and offer serious yet accessible commentary. The series is an invaluable resource for the first time students of the Bible, for all who read the Bible regularly, for study group leaders, and anyone involved in preaching and teaching Scripture.

The Third
Gospel for the Third World
by Herman
Hendrickx, cicm
The gospel of Luke was most probably written for a Christian community or a cluster of house churches in a city of Eastern Mediterranean. Thus when Luke speaks of the poor, he has first of all in mind the urban poor in his time. Thereby his Gospel has a special relevance for the Third World and its millions of urban poor in the mega cities for the twentieth century. The Third Gospel for the Third World is a commentary on the Gospel of Luke that intends to pay special though not exclusive attention to whatever maybe of particular interest to Third world readers, as it tries to make available to a wider reading public what the author considers to have pastoral implications first and foremost in a third world setting.

Here a group of scientists who are also Christians presents the result of several years' reflection on the origins of life, the increasing autonomy of living beings, the emergence of humanity and human freedom, our relationship with the Creator, and the drama of evil and death. To shed some light on these mysteries, they show how evolution can be read as a demonstration of the crative activity of God.
Jesus Before Christianity
By Albert Nolan
208 pp., PhP 149
Category: Scripture / Pastoral
The author's portrait of Jesus introduces us to the man as he was before he became enshrined in doctrine, dogma and ritual, a man deeply involved with the real problems of his time - which are the real problems of our times as well. The readers will be invited to take a serious and honest look at a man who lived in the first century Palestine and try to see him through the eyes of his contemporaries.
