The Marcan Portrayal of the «Jewish» Unbeliever : A Function of the Marcan References to Jewish Scripture- The Theological Basis of a Literary Construct Hardback
by Rev. Dr. Neil R. Parker
Part of the Studies in Biblical Literature series
Hardback
Description
One of the most lamentable aspects of Christendom’s history has been the long-standing antipathy of some of its members toward persons of the Jewish faith.
However, the writer of Mark’s gospel did not intend to promulgate such antipathy.
Parker’s groundbreaking re-assessment of how the evangelist applies Jewish scriptures serves to establish the true nature of Mark’s unfavourable depiction of Judaism’s custodians as a theological construct.
The overriding purpose behind Mark’s caricature of Jesus’ compatriots was to explain the presence of «faulty» belief, or even unbelief, among a Gentile readership.
Subsequent generations have mistakenly given historical credence to Mark’s account of Jesus’s ministry.
Regrettably, this has resulted in the erroneous theological legitimization of atrocities against the Jews.
