But what does it mean to Mark? Morten Hørning Jensen investigates the notion of Mark’s ‘gospel’ afresh, and concludes that Mark uses it to communicate the ‘epoch-making’ reversal of fortunes he sees as the victorious outcome of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Gospel of Mark pointedly opens with the statement, \"the beginning of the gospel\". This raises the question: What does 'the gospel' (τὸ εὐαγγέλιον) mean to Mark? Traditionally, an explanation has been found in the so-called 'religious use' of the notion of the 'messenger on the mountain' in Isa 40:9 and 52:7, paving the way for an understanding of Jesus's death as a sin sacrifice connected to Isa 53. Under the influence of recent postcolonial and\/or anti-imperial reading strategies, however, Mark's gospel notion has rather been understood as tailored to counter a Roman dressing of the emperor as 'gospels' to the world. Morten Hørning Jensen re-investigates the entire concept of 'gospel' and concludes that Mark uses the concept to communicate the 'epoch-making victory' he finds to be the product of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55169688338806,"sku":"9783161618581","price":236.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32493056.jpg?v=1737623627","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9783161618581-the-gospel-between-emperor-and-temple-in-the-gospel-of-mark-a-story-of-epoch-making-proximity-to-the-divine-through-v","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
