Buried Treasure addresses the easily missed or misperceived themes of Mark's Gospel, unearthing some surprising discoveries-buried treasures waiting to be found. The book examines nine Markan themes that emerge from the characters, events, and structure of Mark's story. In each chapter, readers follow a single theme, discovering narrative treasures along the way. Hunter R. Hill tells present-day stories of transformation and change, drawn from myriad sources, including his own life, and connects them to Mark's narrative of transformation, resurrection, and change. He links today's human realities and hopes to those discovered in Mark's artful account of the life of Jesus and those who imperfectly followed him. Hill also draws on the insight of his own master teachers and mentors, whose observations reveal and crystallize the good news unearthed over the years. Even for those who have spent a lifetime reading the Bible, much remains to be discovered in Mark's story, with Hunter R. Hill as a gracious, thoughtful guide. By reading Buried Treasure, readers unearth the riches of Mark's Gospel.
