You may wish to know that the second volume of the Word Commentary on Mark
is being finished (if it has not already been completed) by Craig Evans
(wouldn't be surprised if it's out for the Nov. SBL), and that the C.S.Mann
commentary -- which always seemed to me to be more on Greisbach than on
GMark -- is being replaced by a two volume set penned by Joel Marcus. What
I've seen of this latter work (vol. 1 is to be out by Nov.) is very
good.

Yours,

Jeffrey
