The author states his goal for the book as:
"It is an attempt to model this approach of 'engaging with the Scriptures at the level of the informed imagination.' It is not an academic commentary, although I make use of the best academic commentaries. Neither is it a devotional commentary, though I hope it leads to a deeper devotion in those who read it. I intend to take seriously the author of each of the Gospels insofar as their individual backgrounds shape the text."
He provides context - historical context, geographical context, the personal context of individuals' lives as known from the Bible - any factors that he thinks can lead to greater understanding.
When the author indulges in imagining additional details, he is clear about that. For example, he writes, "I imagine him [Peter] looking up from the parchment as he writes these words [2 Pet 1:15 verse], perhaps smiling across the room at his 'son' Mark, who might have already begun writing his Gospel." As another example, he writes, "When I listen to the opening verse of Mark, I hear an enthusiastic young man who is almost out of breath." By expressing his personal interaction with the book of Mark, he gives the book less an analytical feel and more a familiar or intimate feel.
