Rodney J. Decker (1952-2014) was Professor of New Testament and Greek at Baptist Bible Seminary.

What an excellent resource. Rodney Decker’s Mark 1-8 and Mark 9-16 are every exegete’s dream. Phrase-by-phrase and word-by-word Decker works his way through Mark’s Greek text, shedding light on points of grammar, meaning of words, and usage, all the while taking care not to overinterpret or discover nuances that really are not present. Everyone who engages the Gospel of Mark in its original language will profit from these great volumes.
~Craig A. Evans, John Bisagno Distinguished Professor of Christian Origins, Houston Baptist University

These two volumes provide an exceptionally useful resource for those who want a sure guide to understanding the Greek text of Mark’s gospel.
