First sentence: Before any scholarly discussion of the Gospel of Mark can begin, one must confront the most basic set of questions that can be asked about any document: Who is "Mark"?
Description: In Reopening the Word, Marie Sabin argues that Mark's gospel represents an early and evolving Christianity, which shaped its theological discourse out of the forms familiar to early Judaism.
