Bible Question (short): Mark: Two narrative composition? |
Question (full): It is my hope that we might have discussion of Mark' Gospel as a narrative COMPOSITION. The Gospel of Mark is a composition of two source communities. 1. The Jesus people of the Jesus movement (as in 4.35-8.26) 2. The Christ people of the Christ cult (as in 11.1--16.8) Mark is a composition of these two narratives - one being the narrative of the Jesus people, the other being the Christ-community. Between the two narratives, there is a weaving together of the two stories in a transition section (Mark 8.31-10.52). Anyone interested in this discussion about Mark as a narrative composition? |
