Over the last several decades, the Jewishness of Jesus has been at
the forefront of scholarship and students of the New Testament are
more than ever aware of the importance of understanding Jesus and
the Gospels in their Jewish context. Reading Mark in Context helps
students see the contour and texture of Jesus' engagement with his
Jewish environment. It brings together a series of accessible
essays that compare and contrast viewpoints, theologies, and
hermeneutical practices of Mark and his various Jewish
contemporaries. Going beyond an introduction that merely surveys
historical events and theological themes, this textbook examines
individual passages in Second Temple Jewish literature in order to
illuminate the context of Mark's theology and the nuances of his
thinking. Following the narrative progression of Mark's Gospel,
each chapter in this textbook (1) pairs a major unit of the Gospel
with one or more sections of a thematically-related Jewish text,
(2) introduces and explores the historical and theological nuances
of the comparative text, and (3) shows how the ideas in the
comparative text illuminate those expressed in Mark.
