The 1993 article and other works highlight how the role of "house" and household language in Mark's Gospel provide both a social and narrative setting for (1) the subversion of first-century social institutions, (2) the reorientation of social values, especially related to kinship, and (3) the illustration of Jesus's honor as a reputational legitimate authority. |
