The Rhetoric of Characterization of God, Jesus, and Jesus' Disciples in the Gospel of Mark (JOURNAL FOR THE STUDY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. SUPPLEMENT SERIES, 290) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This study develops a method for analyzing the semantic and narrative rhetoric of repetition and the narrative rhetoric and function of characterization and applies this method in studies of the characterization of God, Jesus, and JesusGÇÖ disciples in the Gospel of Mark. The studies of characterization distinguish beliefs that are assumed for the audience from beliefs that the narration cultivates for the audience, identifies the rhetorical relationships and organization of cultivated beliefs, and clarifies the contribution of each characterGÇÖs portrayal to the overall narrative development of Mark. The study then considers the contribution of the characterization of the women at the tomb to the portrayal of JesusGÇÖ disciples and narrative developments. A concluding inquiry investigates the possible applications of the studies of characterization for determining the rhetorical exigency of the narration and for formulating statements of MarkGÇÖs proposed theology.
