Download or read book Mark's Gospel written by Hermann Beckh and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermann Beckh’s masterful study of Mark’s Gospel offers much more than scholarly argument. It is the work of a true visionary who allows his readers to discover the meaning of the Earth and of humanity for themselves. Beckh was in the forefront of entirely new research and recovery of the Gospel, writing more for the future than for his own time. It is not uncommon for biblical scholars to view St. Mark’s Gospel as little more than an assemblage of fragmentary sources and a copy of uncertain, early memories. The Gospel is said to have little historical veracity, harmony or guiding structure. Beckh’s contemporary, the German writer Arthur Drews, even argued that the text was nothing more than a simplistic solar myth, wherein another Sun-hero pursued his way around the Greco-Roman constellations. Mark’s Gospel: The Cosmic Rhythm is a response to such twentieth-century materialistic thinking. He was asked to write the book in the 1920s by the leaders of The Christian Community, who sought to rescue the desecrated Gospel from its opponents. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner and a vast knowledge of ancient languages – Tibetan, Sanskrit, Pali and Avestan along with Hebrew, Greek and Latin – the Rev. Professor Hermann Beckh perceived how the Gospel reflects God’s Everlasting Covenant, and meticulously expressed its aesthetic unity, the consonance of its parts and its consequent radiant clarity. His far-reaching understanding of sacred texts in the original languages, always associated with the disciplined meditation he had attained from anthroposophy, led to unprecedented insight. This new edition of his classic study has been revised and redesigned.

Book Synopsis Power and Glory Unveiled in Mark’s Gospel by : Raymond J. Zeman, D.B.S., Ph.D.
Download or read book Power and Glory Unveiled in Mark’s Gospel written by Raymond J. Zeman, D.B.S., Ph.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-06-25 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark's Gospel is the briefest of the four gospels, but is frequently more vivid and detailed than the parallel accounts in Matthew and Luke. Written principally for the Roman world, this Gospel presents Christ as the Servant of the Lord, emphasizing the Passion of Jesus, sent to minister and to give his life a ransom for many. It is a book of deeds and contains short discourses and few parables. Christ fulfills Messianic prophecies as found in Isaiah 42:1-21; 49:1-8; 50:4-11; 52:13-15; 53:1-12, and Zechariah 3:8-10. Christ’s ministry of miracles, fellowship with sinners, selection of disciples, and teaching of the multitudes revolve around self-giving love being climaxed at the Cross followed by His glorious Resurrection. Although Christ is depicted in the Gospel of Mark as a servant, the strong emphasis upon His miracles and His mission unveils His Power and Glory.
Book Synopsis The Gospel of Mark in Context by : Santiago Guijarro
Download or read book The Gospel of Mark in Context written by Santiago Guijarro and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-04-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The short story that we now know as the Gospel according to Mark was written in Greek twenty centuries ago in the context of an agrarian society that had been developing its own characteristics in the circum-Mediterranean region. Mark's account presupposes the values, institutions, and relationships of the culture in which Jesus and his first followers lived. Modern readers of the Gospels, however, especially those born and raised in the North Atlantic postindustrial societies, have other values and institutions, and relate to each other according to other cultural codes. This temporal and cultural distance between the ancient texts and their present-day readers makes necessary an exegetical effort whose purpose is to recover, as far as possible, the reading scenarios presupposed by these texts. In order to reconstruct these scenarios, exegesis has turned in recent years to the social sciences, whose models permit us to imagine and describe the situations presupposed by these ancient texts. This book aims to show how the use of these scenarios elaborated with the help of the social sciences can contribute to a more considered and respectful reading of Mark's story.
Book Synopsis The Theological Intentions of Mark's Literary Devices by : Dean B. Deppe
Download or read book The Theological Intentions of Mark's Literary Devices written by Dean B. Deppe and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What sets The Theological Intentions of Mark's Literary Devices apart from other books? What niche does it fill that makes its publication important? This volume will interest all those who value a literary approach to the Gospel of Mark. Dean Deppe introduces some new literary devices in the research of the Gospel of Mark as well as demonstrates the theological intentions of Mark when he employs these literary devices. Deppe argues that Mark employs the literary devices of intercalation, framework, allusionary repetitions, narrative surprises, and three types of mirroring to indicate where he speaks symbolically and metaphorically at two levels. Mark employs these literary devices not just for dramatic tension and irony, but also for theological reasons to apply the Jesus tradition to specific problems in his own day.
Book Synopsis Women in Mark's Gospel by : Susan Miller
Download or read book Women in Mark's Gospel written by Susan Miller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[This] is a timely topic, one that has not yet been dealt with. Miller writes clearly and competently. The first chapter sets out her method, which draws from both literary critical and feminist work. She then treats the women of Mark's Gospel in sequence. Her work will provide a helpful supplement to the standard commentaries. It will also be useful in women's studies classes, and provides a nice example of a balanced feminist interpretation of the Gospels." -Dr. Alan Culpepper, Mercer University, Atlanta. Miller examines the accounts of women in Mark's gospel and interprets them in relation to Mark's definition of discipleship and his understanding of new creation.
Book Synopsis The Theological Programme of Mark by : Francesco Filannino
Download or read book The Theological Programme of Mark written by Francesco Filannino and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapters of literary works are indispensable to understanding them. This is also true of the Gospels. Francesco Filannino shows that the introductory section of Mark's Gospel (Mark 1:1-15) is an important key to accessing the whole narrative, because it anticipates the main contents of the evangelist's theology.

Book Synopsis Aramaic Sources of Mark's Gospel by : Maurice Casey
Download or read book Aramaic Sources of Mark's Gospel written by Maurice Casey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-07 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1999 book was the first to use all the Aramaic Dead Sea Scrolls to reconstruct original Aramaic sources from parts of Mark's Gospel. The scrolls enabled the author to revolutionize the methodology of such work, and to reconstruct whole passages which he interpreted in their original cultural context. The passages from which sources are reconstructed are Mark 9.11-13; 2.23-3.6; 10.35-45; and 14.12-26. A detailed discussion of each passage is offered, demonstrating that these sources are completely accurate accounts from the ministry of Jesus, from early sabbath disputes to his final Passover. An account of the translation process is given, showing how problems in Mark's text arose from the difficulty of translating some Aramaic expressions into Greek, including the notoriously difficult 'son of man'. A very early date for these sources is proposed, implying a date of c. 40 CE for Mark's Gospel.

Book Synopsis Mockery and Secretism in the Social World of Mark's Gospel by : Dietmar Neufeld
Download or read book Mockery and Secretism in the Social World of Mark's Gospel written by Dietmar Neufeld and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having established the context of mockery and shame in Ancient Mediterranean cultures, Dietmar Neufeld shows how Mark presented Jesus as a person with a sense of honour and with a sense of shame, willing to accept the danger of being visible and the mockery it attracted. Neufeld also considers the social functions of ridicule/mockery more broadly as strategies of social sanction, leading to a better understanding of how social, religious, and political practices and discourse variously succeeded or failed in Mark. Finally, Neufeld investigates the author of Mark's preoccupation with 'secrecy', showing that his disposition to secrecy in his narrative heightened when the dangers of scorn and ridicule from crowds or persons became pressing concerns. In a fiercely competitive literary environment where mocking and being mocked were ever present dangers, Mark, in his pursuit of authority gains it by establishing a reputation of possessing authentic, secret knowledge. In short, the so-called secrecy motif is shown to be deployed for specific, strategic reasons that differ from those that have been traditionally advanced.
Book Synopsis Jewish Martyrdom in Antiquity by : Yair Furstenberg
Download or read book Jewish Martyrdom in Antiquity written by Yair Furstenberg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-03-06 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a comprehensive discussion of all relevant sources concerning Jewish martyrdom in Antiquity. By viewing these narratives together, tracing their development and comparing them to other traditions, the authors seek to explore how Jewish is Jewish martyrdom? To this end, they analyse the impact of the changing social and religious-cultural circumstances and the interactions with Graeco-Roman and Christian traditions. This results in the identification of important continuities and discontinuities. Consequently, while political ideals that are prominent in 2 and 4 Maccabees are remarkably absent from rabbinic sources, the latter reveal a growing awareness of Christian motifs and discourse.

Book Synopsis Christian Beginnings Revisited by : William Mennie
Download or read book Christian Beginnings Revisited written by William Mennie and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-11-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although none of the author-editors of the four canonical gospels walked with Jesus, embedded clues point to written source materials emanating from disciples who did: particularly the found Gospel of Thomas, the lost Gospel of Q1 and an inferred lost Gospel of Early John. While used and changed radically by the later evangelists, especially Mark and John, embedded source elements permit a surprising new reconstruction of the life of Jesus. After his crucifixion by the Romans, three divergent streams of belief represented by Judas Thomas the Twin, James brother of Jesus, and Paul of Tarsus progressed and collided, culminating in the scriptural ascendancy of the Pauline viewpoint following the Roman-Jewish War.
