Mark, evangelist and theologian

Mark: Evangelist and Theologian is a look at Mark as a man, a scholar, a witness to the power of Jesus Christ. This book is designed to serve as a companion volume to I. Howard Marshall's Luke: Historian and Theologian. Its thesis, according to Dr. Martin is: "to set down in some detail the fortunes and values of recent scholarly research on the Gospel according to Mark." Discussions include such topics as: Why Mark's record is called a gospel; the term gospel and its shades of meaning; Mark as Matthew's follower; traditional views of setting; the pertinent theories of recent theologians and biblical scholars; opposition of heretical Christological beliefs; the place of the Markan historical Jesus in the post-Pauline experience and contemporary criticism in Church life; Mark's missionary motifs; and Mark's message for the Church, then and now. - Back cover.
