In the Company of Jesus: Characters in Mark's Gospel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was drawn to this book because it contains the author's "The Poor Widow in Mark and Her Poor Rich Readers," cited in more-recent commentaries on Mark 12. This chapter, one of the suthor's seven academic articles gathered to make up the present volume, expands the usual reading of the text and develops six different narrative contexts in which we can view it.
A creative, in-depth study of less-frequently-examined corners of the earliest Gospel, with an introductory chapter on narrative criticism, followed by chapters on "Fallible Followers," "Disciples/Crowds/Whoever," "Interpreting the Disciples in Mark, "Jewish Leaders in the Gospel of Mark," and "The Major Importance of Minor Characters in Mark."
