Christology and Discipleship in the Gospel of Mark

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Mark's gospel, Jesus engages his disciples in a messianic mission as advance agents of God's kingdom. Their failures have more to do with their inability to trust in God's rule than with their improper assessment of Jesus' Christological identity. Henderson examines the topic of discipleship in Mark's gospel as it relates to Jesus' own mission and purpose. Focusing on six passages that highlight Jesus' interaction with his followers the author frames her readers' understanding of both Jesus and his disciples in the context of Mark's decidedly apocalyptic worldview.
