Testament. [read

Authority and Passion:
Christological Aspects of the

primer on Mark's presentation of Jesus." (Journal of
Biblical Literature) [more

criticism is to build, not to destroy, to illumine, not to
obscure, to give us a better understanding of the gospel,
not to produce another gospel. [read
