Description
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS The Theology Of The Gospel Of Mark by W. R. Telford
This 1999 book presents the reader with a comprehensive view of the theology underlying the first narrative account of the life of Jesus. In Chapter 1 Dr Telford introduces the background of the text and its general message, attempting briefly to place the Gospel and therefore its theology in its historical setting. In the second chapter, he describes and analyses the Gospels theology, again from an historical perspective and with particular regard to its original context. In the third chapter, Telford goes on to examine the Gospel in relation to other relevant writings of the New Testament. Briefly reviewing this larger corpus and highlighting parallels and contrasts, where appropriate, he seeks to locate the Gospels theology in its wider canonical context. The fourth and final chapter ranges even further afield, commenting on the Gospels history of interpretation and on its significance in the contemporary context.show more
