The Gospel of Mark: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary by Ben Witherington III
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

At the beginning Witherington quotes Reynolds Price claiming that Mark "is the most original narrative writer in history" and that the Gospel of Mark is "the most influential of human books."
But aside from an idea here or there, this commentary is rather bland, boring, and conventional lacking in any surprising insights that might open new eyes upon the text.
