This book pays special attention to the hermeneutical location
where the fig-tree story appears in Mark 11; it is situated between
Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and his "Temple incident" in Mark 11.
The fig-tree story plays a pivotal role in understanding the
stories immediatlely preceding and following it. It reverses the
mode of Jesus' entry from being triumphal to untriumphal, and
convinces the first Markan readers to feel at ease in confronting
Jesus' outrage in the Temple. The way in which Jesus entered
Jerusalem contradicts the common description of the entry as a
triumphant one. Additionally, the story finds a proper solution to
the problem of Jesus' actions in the Temple being shockingly in
contrast to his overall character as revealed through the Markan
Gospel.
