M. John-Patrick O'Connor proposes that - in contrast to recent
contemporary scholarship that rarely focuses on the ethical
implications of discipleship and Christology - Mark's Gospel, as
our earliest life of Jesus, presents a theological description of
the moral life. Arguing for Mark's ethical validity in comparison
to Matthew and Luke, O'Connor begins with an analysis of the moral
environment of ancient biographies, exploring what types of Jewish
and Greco-Romanic conceptions of morality found their way into
Hellenistic biographies. Turning to the Gospel's own examples of
morality, O'Connor examines moral accountability according to Mark,
including moral reasoning, the nature of a world in conflict, and
accountability in both God's family and to God's authority. He then
turns to images of the accountable self, including an analysis of
virtues and virtuous practices within the Gospel. O'Connor
concludes with the personification of evil, human responsibility,
punitive consequences, and evil's role in Mark's moral landscape.
