"Not to be served, but to serve"

Unlike the Gospels of Luke and John, Mark's Gospel never explicitly reveals any authorial intent. In A Ransom for Many, John J. R. Lee and Daniel Brueske identify Mark 10:45 as the heart of Mark's Gospel. This single verse is the pivot point of Mark's structure, themes, and message. Mark 10:45 is the key that unlocks the Gospel's unique focus on true discipleship. Learn how Jesus's faithfulness is both a summons and pattern for all who carry their cross and follow him.

Praise for this book

John Lee and Daniel Brueske's A Ransom for Many puts a spotlight on Mark 10:45, where Jesus says he will give his life as a ransom for many. All interpreters know this verse is important, but Lee and Brueske convincingly show that it is the key to understanding both the purpose and setting of the Gospel of Mark. I found this study profound and compelling.

--Craig A. Evans, Houston Christian University


This well-written book will be a prized resource for reading, teaching, and preaching Mark's Gospel.

--David E. Garland, Baylor University


If you want to understand Mark 10:45, this book is a great place to start.

--Joel F. Williams, Biblical Seminary of the Philippines


Lee and Brueske mine the riches of God's word by considering the inner-biblical connections and significance of the so-called 'ransom statement' of Mark 10:45. The authors help readers appreciate the importance of Jesus's death in Mark, and the integrated structure of the Gospel.

--Brandon D. Crowe, Westminster Theological Seminary
