Requirements for Participation

Gospel of Mark


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Mark section is planning two open sessions. The first will address a variety of Markan topics. The second will address "time" in the Gospel of Mark. Jesus' announcement of the nearness of the Kingdom of God creates a tension between the time that is fulfilled (Mark 1:15) and the "time that will come" (13:33). For this session, different aspects of time in the story world can be considered, for example, the role of the past (the Jewish Scriptures), the presence of the Kingdom now, the eschatological expectation, the concrete indications of time (the day, the Sabbath, the hour, euthus), or the narrative aspects of time (sequence, repetition, duration, chronology). We welcome proposals for either session.
