Endorsements 

"Hans Bayer reads the book of Mark with the mind of a philosopher, the heart of a lover, and the humility of a disciple. His aim is to show how self-perception (both individual and corporate) and God-perception shaped by the Gospel simultaneously result in reconciled relationships and radical discipleship. Here is theology and biblical commentary at its best – rooted in powerful textual insights and rigorously applied to contemporary discipleship. The insights are profound; the grace is sweet." - Bryan Chapell, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri

"Bayer's reflection on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship is worth the price of the book alone." - Scotty Smith, Christ Community Church, Franklin, Tennessee

"A crew of seasoned Reformed sailors has set out to encompass a new Treasure Island - an up-to-the-minute, mid-range, pastorally focused collection of Explorations in Biblical Theology." - J.I. Packer, Regent College
