Contributing Authors

This concise volume brings together seventeen essays by international scholars that examine the Gospel of Mark from historical and theological perspectives. The contributions address key issues of reception, interpretation, and application, reflecting the current state and diversity of scholarly research on Mark’s theological and literary profile.

This volume contains seventeen essays by international scholars on the history and theology of the Gospel of Mark. These essays address various topics on the exegesis, language, and text of Mark, including: the reception of the Hebrew Bible in Mark and the reception of Mark in later interpreters; the interpretation of specific passages and themes with various approaches and methods; an examination of eschatological and apocalyptic motifs, and an analysis of the unique theological contribution of Mark.
