Gathered Around Jesus: An Alternative Spatial Practice in the Gospel of Mark

By Eric C. Stewart and Eric Clark Stewart

Book Overview

This innovative study makes a major contribution to the long scholarly discussion of the problematic geography of Mark's Gospel. Using both modern spatial theory and an exhaustive review of ancient evidence, Stewart demonstrates how Mark's spatial perceptions reflect Greek, Roman and Jewish understandings of human geography. He addresses Mark's editorial and compositional control over the geographic presentation of Jesusis ministry, ultimately arguing that in Mark, Jesus offers a unique spatialpractice.
