Description
Summary:Against the common view that the title κύριoς plays a relatively insignificant role in the Gospel of Mark, this article argues that Mark uses κύριoς to set out important aspects of Jesus’ identity. The first instance of κύριoς, which refers to both God and Jesus (Mk 1.3), is seen as the key to Mark’s κύριoς Christology. The difficulty of determining whether κύριoς refers to God or Jesus in many of the following passages should be understood in light of this. Mark used κύριoς ambiguously to link both God and Jesus to the title. While the evangelist maintains that there is only one κύριoς, he also claims that Jesus shares the identity of being κύριoς with the God of Israel.
