Faith as a Theme in Mark's Narrative cover

This critically acclaimed book redresses the theme of faith in the Book of Mark .

This critically acclaimed book redresses faith through a thorough exegetical and literary study of all the references to faith in Mark's composition.Mark's gospel has attracted an enormous amount of scholarly attention over recent decades. The major themes of the gospel have been studied exhaustively and from a variety of critical perspectives. But at least one important theme in Mark has been comparatively neglected in recent study, the theme of faith. This critically acclaimed book redresses such neglect through a thorough exegetical and literary study of all the references to faith in Mark's composition.

'This book is clearly and compellingly written, it commends new ways of understanding the gospels without resorting to fancifulness, and it presents a thesis which commends itself as thoroughly persuasive … Could well become an introduction for students into how to understand the gospels.' New Blackfriars
'An illuminating study, full of insights into Mark's Gospel … Beg, borrow or buy this book.' Epworth Review
