Based on linguistic and thematic links in the narrative, 'The
Turning Point in the Gospel of Mark' argues that the twin pericopae
of Peter's confession (8:27-38) and the Transfiguration (9:2-13)
together function as the turning point of the Gospel and serve in a
Janus- like manner enabling the reader to see the author's main
focus: the identity of Jesus and the significance of that reality
for his disciples. Peter's confession of Jesus as Messiah faces
backward toward the Prologue (1:1-13) and functions as a mid-course
conclusion. The declaration by God on the mountain faces forward
and foreshadows the end-course conclusion (14:61-62; 15:39; Son of
God). Jesus, in response, teaches that the Son of Man must suffer
and die before being raised from the dead (8:31). Christologically,
the images of Messiah, Son of Man, and Son of God converge and
present Jesus, the crucified, as king, ushering in the kingdom of
God in power (9:1 acting as the key swivel between the twin
pericopae). When one is confronted with this Jesus, though there
remains something elusive about him and the kingdom of God in the
narrative, the only wise decision (after calculating the costs,
8:34-38) is to follow.
