La serie de Comentarios de CLIE basado en evangelio de Marcos es un texto esencial para el estudiodel cristianismo, pues expone la vida mesinica en detalle de Jess desarrollando la primera teologa fundada en ella. La trama del Evangelio de Marcos ylas bases de su argumento fueron utilizadas de un modo directo por Mateo y Lucas, e indirectamente por Juan.

El autor Xavier Pikazaha incluido una variedad de esquemas y tablas, as como textos explicativos insertados en el propio texto o enumerados al final de las distintas secciones, que sirven de resumen, y que ayudan a trazar conexiones con temas de inters actual. Adems se incluye un elaborado ndice por temas enumerados por orden de aparicin en el texto evanglico, alfabticamente y por materias, para facilitar una visin que coordine el pensamiento, los temas y la teologa de Marcos, en relacin con una variedad de temas especficos.

Ciertamente, en la visin del cristianismo, sigue siendo esencial la aportacin de Pablo; pero sin la historia de Jess que ofrece Marcos, la teologa de Pablo hubiera terminado perdiendo su “mordiente”, que es inseparable de la humanidad de Jess.

Commentary on The Gospel of Mark

The CLIE Commentary series based on the Gospel of Mark is an essential text for the study of Christianity, since it exposes the messianic life of Jesus in detail, developing the first theology based on it. The plot of Mark’s Gospel and the basis of its argument were used directly by Matthew and Luke, and indirectly by John.

Author Xavier Pikaza has included a variety of diagrams and tables, as well as explanatory texts inserted in the text itself or listed at the end of the different sections, which serve as a summary, and which help to draw connections with topics of current interest. In addition, an elaborate subject index is included, listed in order of appearance in the Gospel text, alphabetically and by subject, to facilitate a coordinated view of Mark’s thought, themes and theology in relation to a variety of specific topics.

Certainly, in the vision of Christianity, Paul’s contribution remains essential; but without the story of Jesus offered by Mark, Paul’s theology would have ended up losing its uniqueness, which is inseparable from the humanity of Jesus.
