This scholarly work includes a review of the Markan narratives about Jesus' baptism, his transfiguration, and his suffering and death, as well as the discussion of his relation to Elijah, his identity as "the stone which the builder rejected," and the question of whether or not he is David's son. Joel Marcus discusses what each of these passages meant for the early church and suggests their relevance for Christians today.

This review is from: The Way of the Lord: Christological Exegesis of the Old Testament in the Gospel of Mark (Paperback)
I purchased this for my Ph.D work, but the foundation from which I work is not in concert with the foundation from which the author works. The critical analysis and breakdown of various phrases and origin is tedious. Perhaps it is useful for those who want to be considered smart in the scholastic world, but that world's usefulness is minimal to me.
