It might be even more relevant now due to the times we are living in when the gospel in North America has been so watered down and colluded with Empire. This commentary on the Gospel of Mark truly helps us to recapture the Countercultural implications of being disciples of Jesus and the radical call to discipleship that is found within the oldest Gospel. Myers unearths symbolism that is as foreign to most of us as the symbolism that is found in much of the book of Revelation and makes the book of Mark come alive in a fresh and exciting way. If you only have one commentary on Mark, make sure it is this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read study of Mark's Gospel *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2021* This is a first rate scholar's theological study of Mark's Gospel. It's deep, involved, digging into the text, making the case for a political understanding of Jesus' ministry. It is chewy stuff, cross referenced with the work of other scholars and undergirded by a view point that may shake some while opening new vistas and possibilities for others. This book that will take time to read and digest, but is must reading for the serious Biblical student and is guaranteed to open new horizons for understanding how Mark's contemporaries understood Jesus and his mission. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Read *by P***W on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2011* This is one of the three books I wish I had read during seminary; but I have decided that in God's infinite wisdom, I was not introduced to it then because I didn't have the background to appreciate it until now.Myers finds too much Christian Bible study focused on private anguish and heaven - while our "world hangs in the balance on an imperial cross of violence and oppression." (14) In addition to his goal of forging a new methodological approach to the Gospels, Myers says his second goal was to "challenge traditional spiritualized or dogmatic readings of the Gospel in our First World churches, in order to promote discipleship as the core of Christian faith rather than either decisionism (the tendency of evangelicalism) or denominationalism (the tendency of liberalism). This he does in spades!His analysis looks at historical and sociological backgrounds, semantic fields, the ideology of Mark's form, narrative strategy of apocalyptic, the effect of narrative sites, and Mark's wonderful use of intertextual allusions to the LXX, among many other considerations.The book is dense, but delightful, and parses the Gospel in great detail. I could read only about 10 pages at a time, but it was well worth it. His socio-political analysis turns many traditional interpretations of Gospel passages on their (deaf) ears. Having read this book, I will never read any of the gospels the same way again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/10902399-binding-the-strong-man](https://www.desertcart.at/products/10902399-binding-the-strong-man) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
