Opis

Although there have been a number of important studies in the recent past concerning Marks first feeding story, there has not been a thorough and comprehensive narrative-critical analysis on the response of the implied audience to Marks uses of the OT allusions in 6:30-44. This study investigates the literary elements such as setting, character, and plot within the passage to illustrate how the audience is expected to respond to the OT allusions and how the story functions within the Gospel of Mark as a whole. This book is the first to present a full-scale, narrative-critical, and audience-oriented study of the literary elements of Marks first feeding story. It should be especially useful to professionals in the field of New Testament Studies, or anyone who is interested in a narrative reading of the Gospel of Mark.
