Gospel of Mark


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Gospel of Mark program unit has four sessions for 2023. Session 1: An open call for papers on any topic or text advancing scholarship on the Gospel of Mark. Session 2: An open call for papers focused specifically on the interpretations of the Markan prologue as a textual unit, which will inaugurate a multi-year series working through Mark from beginning to end, with a view to fostering conversation about the textual, historical, hermeneutical, and theological aspects of the Gospel in larger-scale perspective. We welcome proposals for sessions 1 and 2 that show a clearly defined thesis, methodology and argument. Session 3: A joint session with the Biblical Exegesis from Eastern Orthodox Perspectives Section in which invited papers answer the question what happened to Mark in early Christian exegesis? Session 4: Invited panelists will review Max Botner's book Jesus Christ as the Son of David in the Gospel of Mark. SNTSMS 174. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2019.
