Description
Reading Mark in Context: Understanding Jesus and Second Temple Judaism This textbook explores the Jewish context of Jesus' life and teachings, providing a deeper understanding of Mark's Gospel. It brings together essays that compare and contrast viewpoints, theologies, and hermeneutical practices between Mark and his Jewish contemporaries. By examining individual passages in Second Temple Jewish literature, this book illuminates the context of Mark's theology and the nuances of his thinking. Each chapter pairs a major unit of the Gospel with one or more sections of a thematically-related Jewish text, highlighting the historical and theological significance of these comparisons. This approach offers a fresh perspective on Jesus and the Gospels, helping students to see the contour and texture of Jesus' engagement with his Jewish environment.
