This volume presents essays by Adela Yarbro Collins on the Gospel
of Mark originally published between 1993 and 2021. The earlier
ones were written while preparing to write the Hermeneia commentary
on Mark, published in 2007. The later ones reflect the author's
continuing interest in the interpretation of this Gospel. Major
foci of the collection are the genre of Mark and of the passion
narrative, and the meaning of the death of Jesus. She approaches
the portrayal of Jesus in Mark by analyzing a particularly striking
miracle-story, the walking on the water; the title Son of God;
Jesus's action in the temple; the messianic secret; and particular
aspects of Jesus's Jewishness. Another important topic is the
significance of the empty tomb, that is, how the author of Mark
envisioned the resurrected life of Jesus. Clues to this are found
in the cultural contexts in which the Gospel was written.
