Master of Surprise : Mark Interpreted

One of the great surprises of engagement with Mark's Gospel according to Donald Juel, may be the discovery that God will not be excluded--that the tearing of the heavens and the temple curtain may result in an irreparable breach in the reader's defenses against the actual presence that the narrative mediates. Not another methods book, Juel probes selected texts from Mark in order to discern the world in front of the text. His goal is to close the distance between the present reader and the first readers without abandoning historical study--literature has degrees of fictionality. To accomplish this, Juel has broadened the insights of rhetorical analysis to include the whold interpretive enterprise.Juel, Donald H. is the author of 'Master of Surprise : Mark Interpreted', published 2002 under ISBN 9781888961140 and ISBN 1888961147.
