4.0 out of 5 stars
Good introduction,
By
This review is from: Conflict in Mark (Paperback)
The book approaches the Text from a narrative point of view, and focuses mostly on how the plot is developped. He divided the chapters according to the major characters of the Gospels: Jesus, the Authorities and the Disciples. I found it easy to read and right to the point. I consider it to be a good way to start to deepen the understanding of the gospel. I would read this one BEFORE reading any commentary.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Thorough commentary of Markan Gospel,
This review is from: Conflict in Mark (Paperback)
This is a good and thorough commentary of the Gospel of Mark. The text does a fine job of mapping out the unique perspective of Mark, the characters within it and how conflict between characters gives rise to the intensity of the Markan Gospel. I liked the format of the book, which examined each critical character (Jesus, the authorities and the disciples)and their role at each phase of the Gospel text. As Kingsbury works through the Markan text, you can see the pattern of conflict between the "things of God" and the "things of humans".Overall, the book was an interesting read that I'm glad I have in my library.

Conflict in Mark,
By
This review is from: Conflict in Mark (Paperback)
Conflict in Mark is a great book for literary criticism for the Gospel of Mark. Kingsbury does a great job of describing the interaction of Jesus, disciples and the religious authorities with each other and what they communicate to the reader. Unfortunately with such a short book, Kingsbury leaves the reader wanting to know more. There is little or no explanation of minor characters, including the crowd, in their role in the Gospel of Mark. At times, Kingsbury can be a bit repetitive because he is dealing with the three characters repeatedly in each of the three chapters. Overall, it is a good book to begin studying the Gospel of Mark.
