The Gospel of Mark has been studied from multiple angles using many
methods. But often there remains a sense that something is wanting,
that the full picture of Mark's Gospel lacks some background
circuitry that would light up the whole. Adam Winn finds a clue in
the cataclysmic destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 70.
For Jews and Christians it was an apocalyptic moment. The gods of
Rome seemed to have conquered the God of the Jews. Could it be that
Mark wrote his Gospel in response to Roman imperial propaganda
surrounding this event? Could a messiah crucified by Rome really be
God's Son appointed to rule the world? Winn considers how Mark
might have been read by Christians in Rome in the aftermath of the
fall of Jerusalem. He introduces us to the propaganda of the
Flavian emperors and excavates the Markan text for themes that
address the Roman imperial setting. We discover an intriguing
first-century response to the question "Christ or Caesar?"
