Document Details : Title: The Vulnerable Authority of the Author of the Gospel of Mark Subtitle: Re-Reading the Paradoxes Author(s): VAN OYEN, Geert Journal: Biblica Volume: 91 Issue: 2 Date: 2010 Pages: 161-186 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.91.2.3188860 Abstract : The article proceeds in three steps. The paradoxes in Mark 8,35; 9,35; 10,43-44 tell in their own way that the mystery of the passion and resurrection of Jesus is to be experienced by the followers of Jesus in daily life. They are not only anticipations but also actualizations of that mystery. These paradoxes cannot be understood without the Christological foundation that God has saved Jesus from the dead. The use of paradoxes is in agreement with Mark’s theology and Christology which as a whole is presented as a paradoxical story. |
