By gradually revealing the identity of Jesus as Messiah and Son of God the narrative strips away any militaristic ideas popularly associated with messiahship. For Mark the humiliation of the cross with all its torture and horror points to Jesus as a Messiah who gives his life on the cross and who calls his disciples to do likewise. In spite of the disciples failures which are unflinchingly displayed the Gospel ends on the high note of hope found at the empty tomb.Kent Brower expertly delves into this Gospel carefully reflecting on its literary and historiYNbeaCompletely New Scholarship from notable experts in the Wesleyan traditionConvenien show more
