The 'Gospel' between Emperor and Temple in the Gospel of Mark

A Story of Epoch-Making Proximity to the Divine through Victory and Cult

Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)

The Gospel of Mark pointedly opens with the statement, “the beginning of the gospel”. This raises the question: What does ‘the gospel’ (τὸ εὐαγγέλιον) mean to Mark? Traditionally, an explanation has been found in the so-called ‘religious use’ of the notion of the ‘messenger on the mountain’ in Isa 40:9 and 52:7, paving the way for an understanding of Jesus’s death as a sin sacrifice connected to Isa 53. Under the influence of recent postcolonial and/or anti-imperial reading strategies, however, Mark’s gospel notion has rather been understood as tailored to counter a Roman dressing of the emperor as ‘gospels’ to the world.
