Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In this addition to the well-received Paideia series, Mary Ann Beavis examines cultural context and theological meaning in Mark. Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by- attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs- showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits- commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book- focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text- making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly formatStudents, pastors, and other readers will appreciate the insights that Beavis derives from interrogating the text through multiple perspectives.
