In the final nine chapters of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus
increasingly struggles with his disciples' incomprehension of his
unique concept of suffering messiahship and with the opposition of
the religious leaders of his day. The Gospel recounts the events
that led to Jesus' arrest, trial, and crucifixion by the Roman
authorities, concluding with an enigmatic ending in which Jesus'
resurrection is announced but not displayed. In this volume New
Testament scholar Joel Marcus offers a new translation of Mark 8-16
as well as extensive commentary and notes. He situates the
narrative within the context of first-century Palestine and the
larger Greco-Roman world; within the political context of the
Jewish revolt against the Romans (66-73 C.E.); and within the
religious context of the early church's sometimes rancorous
engagement with Judaism, pagan religion, and its own internal
problems. For religious scholars, pastors, and interested lay
people alike, the book provides an accessible and enlightening
window on the second of the canonical Gospels.
