Gain Insights on Mark's Christology from Today's Leading Scholars
The Gospel of Mark, widely assumed to be the earliest narrative of
Jesus's life and the least explicit in terms of Christology, has
long served as a worktable for the discovery of Christian origins
and developing theologies. The past ten years of scholarship have
seen an unprecedented shift toward an early, high Christology, the
notion that very early in the history of the Jesus movement his
followers worshipped him as God. Other studies have challenged this
view, arguing that Mark's story is incomplete, intentionally
ambiguous, or presents Jesus in entirely human terms. Christology
in Mark's Gospel: Four Views brings together key voices in
conversation in order to offer a clear entry point into early
Christians' understanding of Jesus's identity: Sandra Huebenthal
(Suspended Christology), Larry W. Hurtado (Mark's Presentation of
Jesus; with rejoinder by Chris Keith), J. R. Daniel Kirk (Narrative
Christology of a Suffering King), and Adam Winn (Jesus as the YHWH
of Israel in the Gospel of Mark). Each author offers a robust
presentation of their position, followed by lively interaction with
the other contributors and one "last-word" rejoinder. The
significance of this discussion is contextualized by the general
editor Anthony Le Donne's introduction and summarized in the
conclusion. The CriticalPoints Series offers rigorous and nuanced
engagement between today's best scholars for advancing the
scholarship of tomorrow. Like its older sibling, the CounterPoints
Series, it provides a forum for comparison and critique of
different positions, focusing on critical issues in today's
Christian scholarship: in biblical studies, in theology, and in
philosophy.
