This study contributes to the debate over the function of Davidic
sonship in the Gospel of Mark. In contrast to William Wrede's
paradigm, Max Botner argues that Mark's position on Jesus's
ancestry cannot be assessed properly though isolated study of the
name David (or the patronym son of David). Rather, the totality of
Markan messiah language is relevant to the question at hand.
Justification for this paradigm shift is rooted in observations
about the ways in which ancient authors spoke of their messiahs.
Botner shows that Mark was participant to a linguistic community
whose members shared multiple conventions for stylizing their
messiahs, Davidic or otherwise. He then traces how the evangelist
narratively constructed his portrait of Christ via creative use of
the Jewish scriptures. When the Davidssohnfrage is approached from
within this sociolinguistic framework, it becomes clear that Mark's
Christ is indeed David's son.
