Mark - Paperback

by Paul J. Achtemeier (Author), Gerhard Krodel (Editor)

Here is the revised and expanded second edition of what has become a standard introductory work on Mark and the Synoptic Problem. The revisions and expansions in this book have been necessary due to the vitality of Markan scholarship, the author's continuing reflection on the meaning of Mark, and the depth of insights in Mark's Gospel. Achtemeier has fully rewritten his chapter on The Christology of Mark, and has added an entirely new chapter on Mark as Literature. An annotated bibliography and index of biblical passages make this a key introduction to Mark.
