Preaching Mark is a concentrated reader-response commentary on the Gospel of Mark that examines the Gospel's strategy of composition in light of first century rhetorical conventions. It offers a comprehensive chiastic analysis of the Gospel text directed to the purpose of recovering Mark's voice amidst the one-thing-after-another of his Jesus story. The purpose is to discover how Mark is using that story to preach gospel to his intended audience. The book includes model sermons based on the commentary by noted homileticians: Ronald Allen, Stephen Farris, Lucy Lind Hogan, Judith McDaniel, James Mead, Paul Scott Wilson, and the author. The book is intended for preachers who would find it valuable in devising their own sermon strategy to have specific recourse to a way of discovering how a gospel writer was using the Jesus story to preach to his own community. This is a study in Mark's strategy, his fictive argument embedded in the arrangement of his presentation of the Jesus story.ASIN: 0827229585VSKU: BVV.0827229585.GCondition: GoodAuthor/Artist:Reid, Robert StephenBinding: PaperbackNote: Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.
