The author of this lucid and interdisciplinary study of Mark's
Gospel believes that - when applied to Gospel texts - sociological
analysis and literary criticism may be far closer together in
purpose and intent than is often supposed. Professor Camery-Hoggatt
therefore begins his work with an exploration of the social
functions of narrative in general, and of ironic narrative in
particular. He then turns to the literary functions of the internal
elements of the narrative, and draws the two discussions together
into a single framework that can be used as a lens through which
Mark's Gospel can be read. The author's claim is that irony -
especially dramatic irony - thoroughly permeates the Gospel, and
that this evinces a rhetorical strategy central to Mark's whole
narrative. The second half of the book shows that the presence of
irony is especially powerful when the deeper level of meaning is
somehow hidden from the story's characters.
