Conflict in Mark: Jesus, Authorities, Disciples

by Jack Dean Kingsbury

Overview

Intertwined with Mark's story of Jesus are two other story lines: those of the religious authorities (without real authority), and those of the disciples (loyal and uncomprehending.) In this signal effort, Kingsbury traces and interprets all three story lines as found in Mark, chapters 2-4.
