Das Evangelium nach Markus
by Thomas Soding
German description: Dieser grosse Kommentar erschliesst das Markusevangelium historisch-kritisch und kanonisch als Erzahlung an Jesus, die im Licht des Osterglaubens erstmals die Zusammenhange zwischen dem Wirken und der Passion Jesu vergegenwartigt. Jesus nimmt seine Sendung, das Reich Gottes zu vermitteln, als Gottessohn mitten unter den Menschen wahr – als Jude fur alle Volker. Das Evangelium antwortet auf eine tiefe Krise der Gesellschaft und der Kirche, die durch den Judischen Krieg zugespitzt wird. Es fuhrt die Aktualitat der Verkundigung Jesu vor Augen: Der Glaube pragt alle Lebensbereiche, weil er in der Nachfolge Jesu die rettende Beziehung zu Gott mit der sozialen Verantwortung fur die Nachsten vereint. Diese Orientierung entwickelt sich in einer lebendigen Gemeindetradition, die Markus zusammenfasst und weiterfuhrt. Das Markusevangelium wird als grundlegendes Zeugnis personaler Christologie gedeutet, die das Bild Jesu nachhaltig gepragt hat und bis heute eine Auseinandersetzung mit ihm stimuliert. English summary: This large commentary makes the Gospel of Mark accessible as a commemoration of Jesus, both historically-critically and canonically. In light of the Easter faith, it makes the connections between the ministry and the passion of Jesus present for the first time in narrative form. Jesus embraces his mission to communicate the kingdom of God, as the Son of God in the midst of people, as a Jew for all peoples. The Gospel responds to a profound crisis of society and church, which is brought to a head by the Jewish War. It reveals the topicality of Jesus’s preaching: Faith colors all areas of life because, by following Jesus, it unites the saving relationship to God with social responsibility for one’s neighbor. This orientation develops in the tradition of a living community, which Mark summarizes and maintains. The Gospel of Mark is interpreted as a fundamental testimony of personal Christology, which has had a lasting impact on the image of Jesus and continues to stimulate discussion of him to this day.
