This 1999 book was the first to use all the Aramaic Dead Sea
Scrolls to reconstruct original Aramaic sources from parts of
Mark's Gospel. The scrolls enabled the author to revolutionize the
methodology of such work, and to reconstruct whole passages which
he interpreted in their original cultural context. The passages
from which sources are reconstructed are Mark 9.11-13; 2.23-3.6;
10.35-45; and 14.12-26. A detailed discussion of each passage is
offered, demonstrating that these sources are completely accurate
accounts from the ministry of Jesus, from early sabbath disputes to
his final Passover. An account of the translation process is given,
showing how problems in Mark's text arose from the difficulty of
translating some Aramaic expressions into Greek, including the
notoriously difficult 'son of man'. A very early date for these
sources is proposed, implying a date of c. 40 CE for Mark's Gospel.
