      FOREWORD

      Dear Reader:

      Shepherd's Notes are designed to give you a quick, step-by-step overview of every book of the Bible. They are not meant to be substitutes for the biblical text; rather, they are study guides intended to help you explore the wisdom of Scripture in personal or group study and to apply that wisdom successfully in your own life.

      Shepherd's Notes guide you through the main themes of each book of the Bible and illuminate fascinating details through appropriate commentary and reference notes. Historical and cultural background information brings the Bible into sharper focus.

      Six different icons, used throughout the series, call your attention to historical-cultural information, Old Testament and New Testament references, word pictures, unit summaries, and personal application for everyday life.

      Whether you are a novice or a veteran at Bible study, I believe you will find Shepherd's Notes a resource that will take you to a new level in your mining and applying the riches of Scripture.

      In Him,

      David R. Shepherd

      Editor-in-Chief

      HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

      DESIGNED FOR THE BUSY USER

      Shepherd's Notes for the Gospel of Mark is designed to provide an easy-to-use tool for getting a quick handle on this Bible book's important features, and for gaining an understanding of the message of Mark. Information available in more difficult-to-use reference works has been incorporated into the Shepherd's Notes format. This brings you the benefits of many more advanced and expensive works packed into one small volume.

      Shepherd's Notes are for laymen, pastors, teachers, small group leaders and participants, as well as the classroom student. Enrich your personal study or quiet time. Shorten your class or small group preparation time as you gain valuable insights into the truths of God's Word that you can pass along to your students or group members.

      DESIGNED FOR QUICK ACCESS

      Bible students with time constraints will especially appreciate the time-saving features built in the Shepherd's Notes. All features are intended to aid a quick and concise encounter with the heart of the message.

      Concise Commentary. Mark is replete with characters, places, events, and instruction to believers. Short sections provide quick snapshots of sections, highlighting important points and other information.

      Outlined Text. A comprehensive outline covers the entire text of Mark. This is a valuable feature for following the narrative's flow, allowing for a quick, easy way to locate a particular passage.

      Shepherd's Notes. These summary statements appear at the close of every key section of the narrative. While functioning in part as a quick summary, they also deliver the essence of the message presented in the sections they cover.

      Icons. Various icons in the margin highlight recurring themes in Mark and aid in selective searching or tracing of those themes.

      Sidebars and Charts. These specially selected features provide additional background information to your study or preparation. These include definitions as well as cultural, historical, and biblical insights.

      Maps. These are placed at appropriate places in the book to aid your understanding and study of a text or passage.

      Questions to Guide Your Study. These thought-provoking questions and discussion starters are designed to encourage interaction with the truths and principles of God's Word.

      In addition to the above features, study aids have been included at the back of the book for those readers who require or desire more information and resources for working through Mark's narrative. These include chapter outlines for studying Mark and a list of reference sources used for this volume which offer many works that allow the reader to extend the scope of his or her study of Mark.
