Faith as a Theme in Mark's Narrative
Faith as a Theme in Mark's Narrative
$60.00
USDMark's gospel has attracted an enormous amount of scholarly attention over recent decades. The major themes of the gospel have been studied exhaustively and from a variety of critical perspectives. But at least one important theme in Mark has been comparatively neglected in recent study, the theme of faith. This critically acclaimed book redresses such neglect through a thorough exegetical and literary study of all the references to faith in Mark's composition.
- Highly-acclaimed study - enthusiastic reviews
- Could serve as introduction to gospel study generally - very well written
- Gives treatment to a novel area in Marcan studies: very few existing examinations of the theme of faith
Reviews & endorsements
"This book is clearly and compellingly written, it commends new ways of understanding the Gospels without resorting to fancifulness, and it presents a thesis which commends itself as thoroughly persuasive." New Blackfriars
"This is a fine book. A brief review cannot do justice to its excellent style and helpful organization: there are some twenty summaries as we go along, as well as diagrams and charts and, at the end, an index of pericopes treated. Further, the reader is kept apprised of scholarly opinion found in the works listed in the 17-page bibliography. The text is studded with perceptive insights. The aim of the author was a description and interpretation of the theme of faith in Mark. He has done both splendidly." Holt Graham, Anglican Theological Review
