In this book the author explores how contexts determine the meaning
of embedded scripture texts in the Gospel of Mark. Many historical
critics base their readings on a context that is external to Marks
story world, be it a reconstructed socio-religious setting of the
evangelist, a Jewish exegetical tradition or some earlier stage in
the development of the gospel. What is common to these readings is
the neglect for the context of the story world- the very context in
which scripture quotations and allusions are embedded. The author
proposes a method of reading these embedded texts that is sensitive
to the story world, though not at the expense of the historical
setting in which the gospel was written. Jesus' announcement in
1:15 concerning the kingdom of God serves as the point of entrance
into Mark's story world.
