Description
Summary:Introduction -- The discourses of Jesus since form criticism -- The discourses of Jesus as rhetoric -- Satan cannot cast out Satan (Mark 3:20-35) -- Whoever has ears had better listen! (Mark 4:1-34) -- What defiles a person? (Mark 6:53-7:23) -- The marvel of the coming Son of Man (Mark 11:27-13:37) -- Conclusion -- Appendix: A brief history of Greco-Roman rhetoric -- Glossary of select rhetorical terms
Young and Strickland analyze the four largest discourses of Jesus in Mark in the context of Greco-Roman rhetoric in an attempt to hear them as a first-century audience would have heard them. The authors demonstrate that, contrary to what some historical critics have suggested, first-century audiences of Mark would have found the discourses of Jesus unified, well-integrated, and persuasive. They also show how these speeches of the Markan Jesus contribute to Mark's overall narrative accomplishments
