| Résumé : |
This is the first commentary on the Gospel of Mark to systematically apply a multidisciplinary approach, called “socio-literary method." Myers integrates literary criticism, socio-historical exegesis, and political hermeneutics in his investigation of Mark —the oldest story of Jesus— as “manifesto of radical discipleship.”
Insisting on fidelity to both text and context, Myers reads Mark’s narrative of Jesus' life and Messianic practice first against the historical circumstances of first-century Palestine, and then against the backdrop of contemporary oppression and violence. Mark’s Jesus, Myers argues, offers a compelling model for a Christian practice of non-violent resistance to social, economic, and political domination. |
